ART 1TI3 (C01) – Making Art & Understanding Technology & Images

This hands-on, introductory course explores the intersection of art, technology, and society through a series of collaborative projects. Students will work with a range of media—including photography, video, collage, mixed media, AI tools, and generative tools—to develop creative responses to contemporary themes.

Students are expected to actively participate in class, bring required materials, and collaborate respectfully with their peers. Emphasis is placed on both the creative process and conceptual engagement, preparing students to critically navigate the evolving landscape of digital art and culture.

Linked tutorials are accessible only while the course is in session.
