What Will I Learn?
Sure, you are creative and you know your way around Photoshop and Flash pretty well, but there’s more to being a media arts professional than that. You also need to communicate well, problem-solve, and meet client needs. Solid programs and courses in media arts from an Art Institutes school can prepare you to build on these skills and more.
Now that you know why you should study media arts, here’s what you can look forward to in the classroom:
Our media arts courses* are structured for you to apply creative solutions across multiple platforms. For example, in a class on 3D Modeling and Animation, students are using Maya to create their own 3D models and animating them in different situations. Down the hall in a class on VFX, students are shooting video to capture images that will be translated into the digital environment. In an audio production studio, students are mixing down tracks in Pro Tools.
And there are more media arts courses focusing on interface design, interactivity, visual design, dynamic content design, technology, and information design.
When artistic talent meets technical know-how the results can be beautiful. Our media arts courses at The Art Institutes schools combine art and design approaches with technology to prepare you for today’s hot careers.
The Art Institutes is a system of more than 45 education institutions located throughout North America.
* Media Arts program and technology offerings vary at each school. Prospective students should check the course offerings at The Art Institutes school they are interested in attending prior to enrollment.
