Welcome to Digital Art & Design, taught by Mr. Cameron Crouch. Dig Art is an exciting class where creativity and technology join to form amazing work! Prepare to be pushed, explore ideas and concepts, and to learn to effectively express oneself visually. In multimedia, each student will become highly skilled in the use of both Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator. Additionally each student will learn how to properly scan work, prepare work for the Web, for Print, and working with Gamut in CMYK. First semester will focus on learning Photoshop, and the remainder of the year will incorporate Illustrator and Photoshop together. Each student will have their work published online in a digital portfolio. At the end of the school year, each member of Digital Art & Design will be a Photoshop Master!.

Multimedia is taught as a digital art class. Although each student will be working in pixels instead of paint, each student will be creating with an artistic/creative intent. Monkeys can learn Photoshop, but to use the tool effectively, much thought and design planning will need to go into each project in order for the student to be successful in Multimedia.

Multimedia has a $10 class fee. The fee covers the cost of CD's and printing, both of which will be utilized by each student for displaying art, and for backing-up work.

The principles and elements of design are introduced early on in the year, and are expected to be integrated into the development and execution of all work. Learning the elements and principles of design can be tedious and difficult. However, once learned, the student has the power to use the tools to help with the success of the artwork, and the manner in which the artwork is seen.
