Academic Year

2016-2017

Students will learn techniques for optimizing images for communications: commercial print, web, presentation and ftp. Special effects, photographic retouching techniques, natural media treatments and techniques will be covered. While VADA 202 Digital Fine Art 1 focused primarily on exploring the drawing and painting digital tools available in Adobe's Photoshop and Illustrator, VADA 251 Digital Fine Art 2 placed emphasis on Corel's Painter. The Digital Composite course combines the three dominant imaging and illustration packages in depth, emulating traditional media with digital tools in a creative, self-expressive manner.
