Digital Art Foundations provides a creative approach to the digital tool box. It introduces students to computer based imaging including digital vocabulary, essential digital techniques, image processing and creative digital expression. This approach will provide a solid foundation to build on for those students going on to time based media, photography and fine arts. Through creative problem solving in a digital context, students learn to find compelling visual expression with the digital tool box. Photoshop, Illustrator, In Design and Final Cut will be included in expanding the student's basic to intermediate digital vocabulary and dexterity. The amalgam of various imaging tools and the relationships between these applications leads to digital fluidity during visual investigations. Emphasis will also be placed on developing aesthetic criteria for evaluation in a digital context.
