Survey of Western Art from 1300 to the Present

Through the examination of the earliest gestures of cave drawings to sophisticated multimedia narratives, students study the ingredients and structures necessary for compelling digital storytelling. Through hands-on projects, students produce visual, auditory, written, physical and integrated sequences using video, sound, music, text, animation, web, mobile, games and the internet of things.

This course will explore the new frontier of virtual, augmented and mixed reality across different market sectors. Students will experiment with designing and developing game-based and interactive projects employing AR, VR, wearables, IoT, and machine learning for mobile, web and console environments. Students will learn the fundamentals of Unity development, 3D modeling, stereoscopic perception and experiential design in the context of storytelling and content creation specific to these emerging forms. Students will work in small teams on collaborative projects with the latest head-mounted and sensor technology.

An introduction to the basic components and practices of pre-production and production methodologies for content creation in video production. Through lectures, reading assignments, screenings and practice, students cover the basics of all stages of production inclusive of the processes of forming and working in production management teams, creating effective production aesthetics in pre-production and production stages, and storyboarding, camerawork aesthetics (basic lighting and camera), and editing according to the storyline, design and graphics functions. This is a survey course, in which students perform and demonstrate the different stages of video production to produce short videos.
