Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0221 - Painting with Light: Digital Painting

This course will focus on digital painting techniques for 2D output. Work from this class can be applied to 2D static and still work, time based media, 3D textures, Game Design, Animation, film/video as well as for print and other media. Students will use industry standard software packages to translate traditional painting techniques in digital format. We will focus on technical aspects such as format and size as well as brush modification and creation, painting with light using the RGB color wheel, color theory and texture for use in static 2D images, applied 2D textures for 3D use, painting over reference images and creating images from scratch. Students will be expected to have their own digitizing graphics tablet that they can use in class and for work outside of class.The graphics tablet must support pressure sensitivity and the software the students use must support .tiff/.psd file format, layers, brush creation, output to print resolution and raster editing capabilities. Students will create work from still life to imagined spaces.Students should expect to have at least 6-8 hours of work outside the classroom for this course. Students are expected to use reference images in this course but absolutely no AI generated work will be accepted for work in this course in any format, including, but not limited to generated reference images, final work, thumbnail sketches, etc.Students are expected to have a familiarity and comfort with digital software and graphics tablets prior to taking this class Keywords:Digital Art, Illustration, Painting, Art, Computer Science

Students should expect to spend 6-8 hours weekly on work and preparation outside of class time.
