Artists Video

This course provides an introduction to (or continuing skills in) the production of artist video as a tool for art making. Students develop their technical skills through a series of hands-on assignments designed to emphasize the fine arts considerations of this medium. While the development of technical confidence with digital editing requires hours of effort, it is not the purpose of this course.  Rather, the course seeks to foster the development of conceptual and creative tools necessary for the production of video art.  

 

At the same time, critical analysis is encouraged in viewing the works of other students and in responding to the videos of established artists in the field. In addition, assigned readings acquaint students with the history of video art and with its theoretical issues.
