Intro to New Media - Materialized
Materialized will be how you present your work in our class final exhibition. Consider all of the work you’ve made over the course of the semester and distill what you are most proud of into a final presentation of that work. This is not an exhaustive presentation - do not include everything you’ve made. Rather, use this exhibition as an opportunity to hone in on your best work.
Video 2: Experimental Strategies
Student final projects grow out of one of their previous projects. Students write 200-300 word proposals that outline how they will expand and improve the work and in which direction(s).
Video 1: Technologies and Analysis
Student final projects grow out of one of their previous projects. Students write 200-300 word proposals that outline how they will expand and improve the work and in which direction(s).

New Media Robotics
Create a significant 3D kinetic or interactive artwork, using Arduino. The concept of your work should inform the way it is presented. Your work must be shown in its completed form on the class critique date. That includes finished framing or sculptural presentation.
Digital Imaging - Final Project
Create a significant digital artwork, or series of works that are presented outside of the computer. The concept of your work should inform the way it is presented. It could be printed out using the ink-jet printers, printed by a company, made into a book, incorporated into an internet artwork, a QuickTime movie, etc. Your work must be shown in its completed form on the class critique date. That includes finished framing or sculptural presentation.
Digital Imaging - Composit Still Life
Take what we know about still life images and bring that into the Digital Realm. On computers we can easily composite, collage, appropriate, alter, draw, erase, and layer a variety of elements – photographic, scans, computer generated drawings, etc into the same space. Consider how objects and their physical properties can be revealed in context of a digitally-composited construction.
Digital Imaging - E-Scape
This project focuses on how and where we live, and how our lives have become entwined with technology. How do we use technology, and how do we get used by technology? Just as important, what is technology? What does all this mean about who we are and who we are becoming?
Digital Imaging - GIFs
Make a GIF using Photoshop. You can manipulate an existing artwork or create one from your own drawings or photos. Take a look at the artist examples first, then check out the demos to get started using the timeline panel in Photoshop.
Expanded Media -
Performance + Video
Performance:
Consider the history of performance art as well as the working contemporary performance and socially engaged artists we've discussed in class. This project may (or may not) be autobiographical in content. You will either perform for the class or engage the class in some way.
Final:
Create a significant artwork that is presented in some form relatable to Expanded Media: sound, video, performance, social engagement. The concept of your work should inform the way it is presented.

3D Survey Methods DFA106A
Art Practice, College for Creative Studies
Winter 2021
Survey and Methods serves as an introduction to, and examination of, the fundamental elements of creative practices with a focus on materiality in art and the interrelationships among material, making and meaning. Through studio experiences that cultivate observational, investigative, and generative skills, students will explore a range strategies, systems and processes relevant to artistic practice today. Projects cultivate basic foundational skills while examining how material experimentation can drive innovation and shape individual processes of making. Students will be guided to explore critique methodologies while building the vocabulary to articulate their own creative intent and analyze the work of others. This course includes material demonstrations, impromptu dialogue, studio exercises, critiques, visiting artists and field trips. Survey and methods is a two-part course taken during the Freshman year. Survey and Methods I takes place the fall semester followed by Survey and Methods II during winter semester. The courses can be taken in either sequence.
