Details about this class
This section of the MM112 course is an in-person class only.
Our in-class sessions include group topics, hands-on lessons, hands-on activities, and labs. Everything we do in class will have a media component that you are working on during class time. Pre-class video lessons and pre-work and short demos in class take the place of lectures during class, so there is more time to be creating during our time together.
Every Monday, you’ll be learning by doing. This class section is designed to keep you working, not just listening, while also building your foundational practices in digital media work. Some Mondays you’ll collaborate in teams during workshops and labs, and other Mondays you’ll work independently on your own projects and lab activities. Everything we do is about building strong foundations for current and future work in this field.
