Overview

Technically speaking, “media arts” can refer to anything having to do with artistic side of media, particularly visual art—encompassing television, film, graphic design, and so on. However, in most instances, “media arts” refers to the digital forms of art, like computer graphics, video games, animation, web design, and multimedia. If you’re a creative person who’s interested in technology, media arts might be just the field for you.

As a student of media arts, you’ll learn about all aspects of digital creation, from drawing to animation to 2-D and 3-D computer graphics. You’ll learn the many ways digital art can be used, and how to create eye-catching multimedia presentations with your artistic gifts. You’ll learn how digital art can tell a story, and you’ll learn how to use that art form to tell stories of your own. Before long, you’ll be equal parts computer wizard and artistic genius, ready for a rewarding career in digital media.

But you’ll also venture into the television studios for video production classes and trek over to the art studio for lessons in drawing. Read More...

Today’s successful companies depend on strong visual representation to stay a step ahead of the competition, utilizing multiple forms of media – print, web, television – to deliver their brand or message to the public.
