This course will build on the skills from Illustration and Design using the software of Adobe Creative Suite in greater depth to provide a broader experience in animation, graphic design, and computer-generated art. Students will understand how artworks differ visually, spatially, and functionally and they will apply critical and aesthetic criteria in order to improve their own works of art. This course fulfills the Information Computer Technology (ICT) or the Fine Arts requirement for graduation.

Prerequisite: Introduction to Visual Arts (Basic Art), Illustration and Design

Optional Honors Level: In addition to completion of all classroom projects, assessments and critiques, Honors students are expected to explore another software component of Adobe Creative Suite and create work that synthesizes their understanding of several software platforms within the Creative Suite. Honors students will be expected to be able to present their work to the class. Honors students will focus on their work for at least 3 hours a week outside of class time.
