Summary
Collaboration and Balance are Key
- Consider these areas on a whole: Print, Interactive, Animation, and Game. Could also work with Advertising and Marketing areas.
- Design VS Training
Digital Art and Design Program
Need balance between creative, business, and technical aspects of Graphic Communication / Arts.
Need balance between creative, business, and technical aspects of Graphic Communication / Arts.
- Remove the word "computer" and change to "digital" - as technologies go more mobile so should we!
- Classes
- Drawing: remove traditional drawing - add one digital drawing class (imaging or vector drawing)
- Photo: remove Traditional Photography - add digital photography,
- Graphic Design - add
- Graphic Design Practicum (instead of Advanced Computer Art)
- Typography - add
- Possible package design course instead of 3D design (would need studio with work space and ventillation)
- History: Add a design / new media history / appreciation.
- Business of art / portfolio development, or Freelance Principles and Practice - replace Internship with this course. Teach portfolio, business practice, proposals and contracts, etc. Maybe need two classes for these?
- Need larger studio to facilitate proper growth - F160 would be a perfect DAD learning studio. Proximatity to other art programs, increased visibility, more space, darkroom, etc.
Option 1: Art & Technology
Where creativity and technology converge.
This allows for more collaboration and integration between Art and Tech departments - Digital Art, CGI, and even OSA.

Certificates
The idea with the certificates would be to offer them as Summer Certificates. Offer 3 back-to-back summer classes - one in the 3 week intersession, one in the first 4 weeks, and one in the second 4 weeks of summer. Certificate - Graphic Design
Edited Digital Designer Certificate into two degrees:
Certificate - Digital Image Specialist
Certificate - Photography Specialist
Tyler and I spoke and he would be interested in pursuing this as an option.
