DPXA approaches digital painting and animation as fundamentally hybrid practices and challenges students to expand contemporary modes of art production and exhibition beyond the canvas, the screen and the gallery space to generate works that engage the rapidly evolving nature of contemporary image making, animation and digital visual culture. Supported by a laptop program, the DPXA fosters experimental approaches to creative practice and integration of analog and digital modes of production with collaborative, experiential and online learning. Student collaboration will be of key importance to the overall arc of the DPXA: within the classroom as well as with industry and community partners.
Liberal studies courses are listed under the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Sciences and designated course type LST in the course schedule. See the Liberal Art & Sciences for an outline of the degree liberal studies requirements.
