ART 177 — Digital Drawing and Painting
This introductory course explores the tools, techniques, and creative possibilities of digital drawing and painting. Using contemporary computer-based technologies, including drawing tablets, painting and illustration software, scanners, and digital input devices, students will develop images that demonstrate perceptual skill, conceptual thinking, and narrative composition. Emphasis is placed on fundamental pictorial elements and how they function within composition, harmony, contrast, and balance. Students will create a range of digital artworks, including observational studies, illustrations, collage-based images, and sequential or narrative compositions. (CSU/UC)
