ARTS 221 Digital Imaging  

Tradigital
Objective: Digital Imaging has allowed us is the freedom to create large-scale images with ease. Not only is the price of creating large-scale images affordable but also the time and labor to create such images has decreased. The size of an image can change it’s meaning and overall effect. It is up to you to play with scale and see how you can affect the audience with scale. Artists also use the computer as a tool to reproduce images traditionally, for example, Ben Edwards sketches his ideas with a computer then paints them by hand. As an alternative to this assignment you can make an image at any scale that incorporates none digital media (i.e. painting, drawing). For the subject of the assignment you must carefully consider how the scale or traditional method you use strengthens the piece conceptually or visually.
