设计媒体艺术课程

course description

The Department of Design Media Arts (DMA) at UCLA is one of the nation’s top design departments offering a comprehensive, multidisciplinary education in media creation, which fosters individual exploration and innovative thinking.

 

This program with morning and afternoon classes introducing design practices in the contexts of print, net, worlds, and video. The program is taught by professionally trained and well-experienced instructors using the most current software and technology.

 

During the two-week program, students explore a variety of media examining different practices and design methods applied to the domains of print, net, worlds, and video. Broadly addressing a common theme, all four classes contribute to the creation of an integrated, multi-media exhibition at the end of the residency.

 

- Print

Students explore graphic design as image-making coupled with basic typography through a series of fun and fast-paced assignments and exercises. All projects encapsulate a yearly theme while addressing form, composition, hierarchy, and creativity. Students develop a design process and critical visual vocabulary through experimentation and group critiques.

- NET

This course focuses on the internet as a medium for creative expression and artistic intervention. Through examples and small exercises based on a given theme, students study the web in the tradition of art and activism. Using techniques like collage, appropriation, and strategies of artistic self-expression, students analyze these forms for their aesthetic and social potentials. References to relevant artworks are provided, both in and outside the field of Net-based art.

- WORLD

Electronic games offer an exciting mode of interactive storytelling. Virtual spaces and intangible systems can strike complex moods. In this course, students learn the basics of how games are developed and explore “Worldbuilding” as a form of visual narrative, playfulness, and immersive participatory experience. Students use Unity4D game engine to build and dismantle 3-Dimensional games.

- VIDEO

Video is a powerful medium capable of capturing, parsing, and imagining environments and stories. In this course, students learn the exciting properties of time-based media and ways to enable their creative potential. Exploring the technical and experimental approaches to cinematography, animation, and sound, students gain a basic understanding of video-making and the strategies to create unique perceptual events.
