Course Introduction
There are many ways to reform art education through technology. In this course we will look at interactive media primarily though project-based inquiry. Students will evaluate the role of computers and technology for existing art curriculum and develop projects that support the physical classroom experience.
Both interactive screen-based and robotic sculpture assignments will be employed. This course will focus on the conceptual educational applications of time-based, interactive media as a creative tool for the classroom. Readings and discussions about the role of new media in art and art education will support project work.
