| On Demand: Books for One, Books for All! |
| In this course we will look at the process by which ideas are communicated in printed books, and use what we learn to produce our own books through the processes of digital desktop publishing and print-on-demand services like Blurb. By studying a variety of printed books, from the earliest printed examples to contemporary artist’s books, we will devise strategies for telling our own stories. Students will learn about page composition and typography, and use those skills to design their own book, with their own personal content. Each student will produce at least one book. This course is open to students from any major who have already created source material upon which they can draw for the content of the book(s) they will make.--Segovia |

| Seminar on Special Issues: Digital Documentary |
| As newspapers, magazines, and the book-publishing industry struggle for survival, the Internet has opened the door to a new and innovative method of story telling accessible to anyone with a computer; the multi-media slide show. In this course, each student will choose a documentary story about a social issue, a place, person, or subject of interest to them. Students will then learn the basics of digital photography, audio gathering (interviews, ambient sound, narration), sound editing, and visual storytelling to produce an audio slideshow on that topic. Together, the class will develop a Web site highlighting the projects. |

| Special Issues: Video Studio |
| For artists, video serves as sketchbook and as diary, as sculpture and as cinema, as a tool for creation and as a tool for documentation. This digital studio course offers an introduction to video as a fine art medium. Students will learn about the history and theory of video art, and will produce solo and collaborative experiments that explore the technical and creative capabilities of video. Students do not need to own a camera or video editing equipment; camera access will be provided in class and shared editing stations are available at Trinity.
Studio Art Majors may take this class for major credit as a substitute for Photography I, if they are not concentrating in Photography. |
