Digital video is a powerful tool that many artists use to supplement their studio practice. Whether it is used as a medium for creating work or as a means for documenting physical work, digital video can help artists push their work to new places. This course will look at ways we can incorporate digital video into our own artistic practices through several assignments which will explore how this medium can be manipulated to form perceptions of place, performance and practice.

The course will partially consist of workshops that teach basic video skills using Final Cut Pro, however, students are free to incorporate other video and animation programs such as, but not limited to, iMovie, Adobe Premier and Adobe After Effects. We will also engage in weekly critiques of assignments and discussions of various topics and readings regarding the subject matter.
