This specialization gives students a comprehensive understanding of digital painting, from basic techniques to industry application, to how these programs operate. We will explore the elements of art and the principles of design and their application to this digital medium, all while practicing a variety of mark-making techniques and unique digital painting features. We will apply and explore other applications of digital painting in industry and new media art. The studies and assignments will encourage experimentation with the medium and help learners practice and reinforce developing skills. With feedback from discussions, learners will be able to build upon their existing knowledge and expand into new territories. We will build a cumulative professional digital portfolio of all of the studies and assignments completed throughout the specialization.
Projet d'apprentissage appliqué
Your work includes an abstract digital composition, a digitally recreated pre-1900 painting with a personal twist, concept art that integrates photographic references, a creative coding study, and an in-progress portrait draft. You also complete a detailed hand-painted portrait with at least three frames of movement, export it as a looping GIF, and compile a PDF portfolio of completed projects and studies.
