Digital Art & Design III

Digital Arts & Design III is the third course in the Digital Arts & Design program of study. Applying design skills developed in prior courses, students will expand their creative and critical thinking skills to create comprehensive multimedia projects and three-dimensional designs. Upon completion of this course, proficient students will be able to use industry-standard software to create multimedia projects, web pages, three-dimensional models and animations. Students will utilize research techniques to plan and enhance project outcomes. Standards in this course also include professionalism and ethics, career exploration and business and project management. In addition, students will begin compiling artifacts for inclusion in a portfolio, which they will carry with them throughout the full sequence of courses in this program of study. Standards in this course are aligned with Tennessee State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in Technical Subjects, Tennessee State Standards in Mathematics, Tennessee Visual Art standards, and Tennessee Art History standards.*

 

 

• Advanced Projects From All Skill Areas - At this level we will be doing several "live projects".  These are projects that will be used by real people in the real world.  Some will be for SHS while others will be for other schools and customers.
• Intermediate 3-D and Animation - We will now start developing 3-D objects for animation and isn't this what we have been waiting for?  Just a little warning up front, animation is a lot of fun, but it is time consuming and very involved.
• Portfolio Completion - By the end of the third year every student is required to have a complete electronic and hard portfolio.  This will be samples of our best work.  The portfolios can be used for submission to certain schools or just bragging rights.
