NEW MEDIA + ANIMATION focuses on fine arts and experimental approaches to studio practices. Students work with a variety of methods within a framework that includes the history and theory of New Media in connection with contemporary and traditional art practices. Coursework introduces digital imaging, 2D animation, and internet technology.

Advanced studies include an exploration of 3D computer graphics, 2D and 3D interactive multimedia, 3D printing, digital video, sound design, physical computing and emerging computer art technologies. In all levels of coursework, students are encouraged to explore media and materials outside of their focus and discover ways to integrate digital technologies into those disciplines.
