The Computer Art courses cover a wide range of the digital realm, and they continually evolve to incorporate the latest technological innovations as they pertain to Art.

The classes offered provide a thorough understanding of how the computer can be used as an art tool, and they cover such topics as Raster and Vector Imaging, 3D Modeling & Animation, Digital Photography, Digital Video, Web and Graphic Design.
