Bachelor [Digital Studio Practice] From University of Wisconsin

Student Experience

Students take courses in image-based, interactive and electronic media, and choose a secondary focus in order to combine these techniques with another of Art & Design’s areas: Ceramics, Fibers, Design & Visual Communication, Jewelry & Metalsmithing, Painting & Drawing, Photography, Print & Narrative Forms or Sculpture. It is our belief that digital technologies are now essential to all arts practices.

We also believe it is more important to be of value than it is to be “new.” The most essential innovation of our curriculum is that of the secondary focus, where students learn to combine various concepts, materials and media, new and old. Want to be an interactive artist? You should understand the history of design, participatory art and installation. Kinetic sculptor? Learn to work with wood and clay. Wearable artist? Fibers and metals. And digital image makers should work with painting, printmaking or photography. We teach students that media art has always moved alongside and within all contemporary arts practices and trajectories.
