Course Overview

This course provides an opportunity for students to explore their creativity using the computer as a primary art-making tool. We start by asking, who are you? What is your voice?

Students will determine their own area of discovery and explore it through a multi-media approach. They will learn to maximize their digital skills to create a powerful and engaging presentation. Final projects will be physical, digital, video, photography, animation, painting, sculpture, or installation, etc. By the end of the course, we’ll answer the question, what can digital art do and be?

Earn College Credits: Seize the chance to earn one college credit applicable towards an undergraduate degree at NYSID or for inclusion in your future college applications.

Classes will be at the New York School of Interior Design, and students will stay in residential housing located in the heart of Manhattan.
