Media Arts Introduction:
Artistic Literacy through the Lens and Beyond
Directions for Preparing/Downloading Necessary Apps for Our Session!
For starters: What kind of device should you bring?
Answer:
-Any phone, MP3 player, tablet (iPad or android). The focus in NOT on the tools per se, but rather the artistic processes used. So while I am recommending these tools for our collective work in our session, the big ideas that I want you to be able to take away with you are on the the affordances of any particular tool and how you can use them artistically. I am providing you these recommended tools because I will be using them and it may be easiest for you to follow along if you have them.
