Digital Art and Animation
RT 3616C/6675C introduces the student to the use of 3D computer generated imagery in the production of contemporary art. In the process of learning this practice, and the discourse that surrounds it, you will learn how to 3D model and navigate an "animation workflow" prevalent in the computer graphics industry. The emphasis is on the development of an experimental art practice that combines form, method, and content, encouraging the artist to "seize" the means of production towards their own ends.
