PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES (PLOs) Media Arts Design
• Given a variety of media arts design, web design, video, cinema, and animation processes, students will be able to demonstrate their knowledge of various computer graphics, cinema and time based processes, theory, and technical skills. • Given media arts design, web design, video, cinema, and animation materials, students will be able to effectively communicate content through the principles and elements of design. • Given media arts design, web design, video, cinema, and animation works and materials, students will be able to critically analyze the principles and elements of design for content and historical importance. • Students will develop artistic skills to visually articulate and comprehend the interconnection between media arts design, web design, video, cinema, design and culture.
ANIMATION 2D COMPUTER GRAPHICS CERTIFICATE Program Code: 1K15693
This Animation 2D Computer Graphics Certificate provides the skills necessary for publishing animation on web sites. Students will learn to create digital drawings, paintings and illustrations for the purpose of creating two-dimensional animated cartoons and interactive games suitable for the Internet and CD-ROMs. Emphasis is placed on development of a portfolio for employment and/or advancement. To earn a certificate, students must complete the required courses as listed with a minimum grade of “C.” At least 50% of all course work must be completed at Cypress College.
