The course is an introduction to digital imaging for creative practice. It seeks to offer a well- rounded background in the history and craft of digital art and design. It presents the students with avenues for exploring the medium for visual rendering across specializations in the visual arts. The course offers essential computing and studio exploratory experience on the digital medium to provide artistic self-expression and concept transformation in two- and three- dimensional art and design rendering. Students must learn rudimentary and advanced techniques in vector and bitmap-based applications that will engender professional growth. Related software used in manipulating form across specializations in the visual arts is introduced, exploring software such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
