ARTM0243 - Field Production Lab
Fall 2018

Video Field Production advances the groundwork in theory and hands on application to single camera, non studio television production. The course consists of lectures and lab work. A portion of the lab work will be done on location. Emphasis is on integrating and expanding the foundation of COMM 2410 to planning and executing television programs within an Electronic Field Production (EFP) context.

ARTM1010 - Foundation Studio
Fall 2018

Foundation Studio I is an introduction to fundamental studio media, skills and techniques. Mixed-media and drawing are utilized to learn how to judge proportion, create volume and depict the illusion of space. These important core skills are addressed through exercises exploring areas such as perspective, proportion, texture, value, form, line and composition. In exploring these areas, individually and in team projects, students expand their visual vocabulary and learn to develop and refine perceptual, conceptual and practical skills that can be applied to the areas of art, design and TV/video production.
