    • Tuesday/Thursday, 10:00-12:30
    • Lang Art Bldg, Room 106
    • Intermediate/Advanced Production

Moving Between Media: Traditional and Digital Printmaking. The digital print is considered something of a hybrid in the print and photo world. Crossing platforms between the etching studio and the digital art lab, students will create works that integrate both methodologies. Systems including transfer drawing, monoprinting, silk solar plates, digital transfer, and analog and digital printing will be explored. Pre-requisite: Art 141 SC. May be taken twice for credit.

ART 142 SC-01: Intermediate Digital Art

  • Instructor: Charlesworth, Vivian
    • Tuesday/Thursday 1:15-3:45 PM
    • Steele Hall, Room 05
    • Intermediate/Advanced Production

This intermediate level course will explore digital approaches, history, concepts and techniques with a fine art context. Intermediate digital art will encourage students to develop mobility and fluidity between mediums and techniques, analogand digital. This approach mirrors the way in which digital media exists in practice for many artists-where the relationship between different ideas and approaches shifts and adapts between projects, and production techniques are significantly determined by conceptin project necessity. Assignments will develop proficiency across a range of programs. This is not intended to be a technical training course. Prerequisite: Either Art 141, Art 148 or MS82.

ART 143 SC-01: Adv Digital Art

  • Instructor: Charlesworth, Vivian
    • Tuesday/Thursday, 4:15-6:45PM
    • Steele Hall, Room 05
    • Intermediate/Advanced Production

This advanced level course will build upon techniques, methodologies and approaches developed in Intermediate and Introductory Digital Art. Assignments will develop proficiency in a range of software in conjunction with digital fabrication techniques. Advanced Digital Art will encourage cross-disciplinary experimentation; the relationship between physical and digital space will be interrogated. Prerequisite: Art 141 SC, Art 142 SC. Fee: $75.

ART 146 SC-01: Int/Adv Black & White Photography

  • Instructor: Gonzales-Day, Ken
    • Monday/Wednesday, 1:15-3:15 PM

MS 078 PZ-01: Intermediate Media Projects

  • Instructor: Mayeri, Rachel
    • Monday/Wednesday, 2:45PM-4:00PM
    • PA Room 1283 (Parsons Engineering Bldg, HMC)
    • Intermediate/Advanced Production

This is a topic-driven, intermediate-level production course. Topics are chosen in response to student interest in particular areas of media theory, or to enable them to adapt to ever changing platforms of media technology. Students in the class will develop specialized technical skills based on their training in introductory production courses and focus on specific fields of knowledge within Media Studies.

MS 087 PZ-01: Media Sketchbook

  • Instructor: Lerner, Jesse
    • Tuesday/Thursday, 1:15-2:30 PM
    • Broad Performance Center
    • Intermediate/Advanced Production

This is an intermediate-level video production class. Students are required to complete short (one to two minute) assignments every other week. The objectives of the class are to further refine the skills of shooting, editing, etc. and to develop a critical vocabulary to talk about your work and the work of others.

MS 090 PZ-01: Ecodocumentary

  • Instructor: Talmor, Ruti
    • Tuesday/Thursday, 9:35-10:50 AM
    • West Hall Q120
    • Media History or Media Theory or /Adv. Production

In recent years, as the Anthropocene has become a central framework within the academy, the subfield of ecocinema has developed within media studies. This course will focus on ecodocumentary. Topics include environmental/manmade catastrophe, industrialization, anthropogenic climate change, interspecies relations, ecojustice, environmental racism, consumerism and waste. Readings will draw from a range of fields including ecocriticism and ecocinema studies. Supported by the Robert Redford Conservancy (RRC), this course will teach students the history, theory and production of ecodocumentary. By the end of the course, student teams will have collaborated with RRC partners in the Inland Empire to create short documentaries.

MS 102 PZ-01: Cinematography

  • Instructor: Cecchet, Alessia
    • Friday, 1:15-4:00 PM
    • West Hall Q116
    • Intermediate/Advanced Production

This course is an introduction to cinematography. Through a hands-on, problem-solving-oriented approach, students will learn how to give shape to the images that they have in their minds. Students will learn the fundamentals of exposure, camera lenses and sensors, framing and composition, lighting, and rigging. Since film is not made in a vacuum, students will also gain knowledge relating to film history and its movements through the screening of feature and short films to learn how other filmmakers make use of cinematography and its tools. Students with limited knowledge on cameras, lights, and lenses are strongly encouraged to enroll.

MS 131 SC-01: Interactive Narrative Design

  • Instructor: Moralde, Oscar
    • Monday/Wednesday, 10:-12:30 PM
    • Steele Hall, Room 05
    • Intermediate/Advanced Production

This course situates narrative writing as a key design practice for the creation of games and other interactive experiences. Students will learn to use Twine, HTML/CSS, Adobe Photoshop & After Effects, to build their own websites as interactive narrative games. They will also embark on creative writing and web design projects that integrate visual art, animation, narrative and rule-based play.

MS 139 SC-01: Socially-Engaged Software

  • Instructor: Xin, Xin
    • Monday/Wednesday, 2:45-4:00 PM
    • Lang Art Bldg, Room 214
    • Intermediate/Advanced Production

This course introduces the theories and practices of socially-engaged software, a DIY and grassroots approach to making software that challenges society?s pre-existing power relations. Through archival materials, technical demonstrations, and site visits, we will study how hackers, activists, and artists incorporate software to challenge authoritarian regimes and uplift communities. Students will form independent research topics throughout the semester and study software as a cultural artifact.

MS 160 SC-01: Computational Photography II

  • Instructor: Goodwin, Doug
    • Tuesday/Thursday, 1:15-2:30 PM
    • Steele Hall, Room 229
    • Intermediate/Advanced Production

Computers can correct flaws in traditional photography, and photographers are happy to use some or all of these tools to improve their images. Focus, aperture, and shutter may be automated alone or in concert. These fixes are just the beginning of the ways that computation will change photography. Soon cameras will make images without optics, manipulate time to sharpen the image, even see around corners to recover faces. We will study the impacts that computational photography will make on the arts, consider the consequences of new propaganda, and propose tactics to deal with these disruptions. Part 2 builds on our study of cameras and representation and moves into computer vision, image processing, digital cameras, image segmentation, high- dynamic-range imaging, texture analysis and synthesis, object detection, and projector-camera systems. Course work includes implementing relevant algorithms and completing a final project. Prerequisite: MS159SC (CP1) or introductory programming class.

MS 194 PZ-01: Media Arts for Social Justice

  • Instructor: Faculty TBD
    • Monday/Wednesday 1:15-2:30 PM
    • West Hall Q120
    • Intermediate/Advanced Production

This course is a combination of analysis, theory, and hands-on service-learning experience of how media arts mobilize, educate and empower communities. The course will examine working models of media-based community collaboraiton projects. Students will be linked with non-profit community collaborators (media arts centers, social service and youth service agencies) who are using media as a catalyst for action in their community. Working with site hosts/collaborators, students will work with undeserved populations to design, implement and produce unique media collaborations that provoke thought and action. Course Fee $150
