Computer Graphics
This is a comprehensive program that introduces the student to graphic arts, including computer graphics. Through theory and comprehensive training assignments, this course will emphasize the art elements of line, shape, space, color, value, and texture. The course will also cover the principles of design: rhythm, balance, repetition, proportions, and variety. Students will develop an appreciation of traditional and nontraditional artistic fundamentals of drawing, color theory, and basic rendering. The students will understand the role contemporary media plays as a means of communication in today’s society and will become knowledgeable about its historical roots.
Advanced Computer Graphics
The Advanced Computer Graphics course is designed to prepare high school students to pursue careers in the graphic arts. It bridges the gap between the basic knowledge and techniques they learned in the first Computer Graphics course, and the real-world experience they will need to be successful as a professional graphic designer. This is done through focusing on building the students’ portfolios, gaining a deeper understanding of the principles of design, and by taking part in school and community design projects that expose them to client based design like that they will encounter in the professional graphics industry. In addition, students will learn to apply Math skills in order to prepare designs for printing, and Language Arts skills in the written analysis that accompanies their major work.
