Video Art Production

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course introduces a foundation for making and understanding video art for artistic exploration and creative expression. Looking at a variety of experimental production methods and approaches to moving image, the course will provide insight into a wide range of video artists and artworks produced since the conception of video art to the present. Using such examples as possible models for conceptualizing original ideas, the course encourages critical expression and learning from failures and new attempts. Modules in the course include appropriation, sound, animation, participatory art, internet /new media art, and multi-channel projection. In addition, we will look at several seminal media art texts that will help students gain critical judgement for one's own and others' work.
