DART 115 Video Art

In this studio course, students are introduced to the creative, time-based medium of video. The course will focus on developing a thorough understanding of the visual literacy used in video art as well as a technical understanding of nonlinear editing using Sony Vegas Video Editing software or industry equivalent. Contemporary video pieces will be discussed through lectures, as well as an overview of the history of video. Through editing practices, students learn to manipulate time, space and sound to create their own personal works in a variety of styles. Basic computer knowledge required.
NOTE: Students must have access to and be able to use a video camera, web cam, camera phone, or other video-recording device that can capture moving images of decent quality and upload them to a computer for editing. Students may be responsible for the purchase of some necessary course supplies.
