Welcome Students!
This is a computer art & design course based on drawing and software -- Adobe Illustrator CS3, Adobe Photoshop CS3, and Bryce 3d Fractal Image Generator with Poser figures. You will learn the basic principles of art and design and how to apply these software programs in various graphic design and art-related projects. In choosing to take this course, you have decided to participate in an innovative and explorative learning environment. Besides being exciting fields of study, computer art, animation and design offer highly creative career paths in visual communication. This is a project-based, hands-on, aesthetic curriculum. You will engage in projects that develop your computer, design and creative problem-solving skills. This outline should give you a clear idea of what is expected of you. Read and sign the course contract to begin. I look forward a rewarding and fun year for each of you. Enjoy your year,
