Digital Painting & Expanded Animation through Drawing & Painting approaches digital painting and animation as fundamentally hybrid practices. It 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, Digital Painting & Expanded Animation through Drawing & Painting 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 Digital Painting & Expanded Animation through Drawing & Painting — in the classroom, and 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.
Laptop Program
Students must fulfill all requirements listed in the major program guide the year they were admitted to OCAD U. For example, a student admitted to OCAD U in 2012 must follow the major program guide published in the Fall/Winter 2012/2013 Course Calendar. However, if program requirements change, students must adhere to the new requirements for their next learning year level.
Digital Painting & Expanded Animation through Drawing & Painting is part of the Laptop Program. Students are required to have a laptop as well as their own external hard drives in order to transfer and store their digital media. We recommend the purchase of Apple MacBook Pro computers. Students are required to pay the associated fees for software and support. Please see the Laptop Program guide for Integrated Media and information on Laptop Program fees
