Welcome to Computer Arts 9/10

Computer Art is any art in which computers play a role in production or display of the artwork. Such art can be an image, sound, animation, video, video game, web site, algorithm. At LFAS Computer Arts students will expand their computer skills through visual communication while learning basic design skills and how to use design software.

Digital artists are visual communicators and storytellers. They use strategic thinking and processes to communicate ideas: inspire, inform, educate, and/or entertain in 2D and 3D media. Students will be challenged with various design tasks and assignments to solve problems and incorporate design in a creative way while learning how to use the listed programs.
