Visionary Concepts and Development in Motion Arts
Y19.2234 / Credit
This is a theoretical class addressing topics in aesthetics, ethics, visionary concepts and developments. The class is divided into three modules. The first is a study of media acceptance and the changing role of art, craft, design, and technology in society. It focuses on the early 20th century to research possible common structures, their success or speculation on the lack thereof. The second module builds on these findings and compares them to current challenges of traditional notions of aesthetics, technology, their distribution, and/or economics in the digital domain. The third module, using half the class sessions, consists of brainstorming to think out-of-the-box and arrive at an individual or collaborative concept to be realized as your final project.
Prerequisites:
Prerequisite History of Special Effects in Cinema and any level I production class (motion design, 3-D animation, or film/video)
