Media Arts offers creative expression through the study of animation, film, video, photography, graphic arts, audio, and interactive multimedia. Within the Media Arts, students work with space, time, motion, light, color, and sound to express their ideas. Students learn a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to contemporary arts, digital production, and emerging media technologies, within the context of the theory and practice. Students explore a range of media arts tools, technologies, and applications, as a means to enable expansive experimentation and innovative creative research.
