DMA-414 GAME SENIOR STUDIO II

The purpose of this course is to allow students,with a Game emphasis to undertake a major,independently initiated project or series of,projects that will form a major part of their,graduation body of work, portfolio, or reel. Since,students have different skill sets and focus’,there are opportunities for students to form teams,that tackle ambitious, forward- looking projects,in a professional manner.,This is the second course in a two part course,sequence consisting of DMA-413 Game Senior Studio,I and DMA-414 Game Senior Studio II.

,PHOTOGRAPHIC CHEMISTRY,
,Film photography is a process driven medium. This,course will examine the chemical evolution of the,black and white photographic print, from its,non-silver foundation to its present,silver-gelatin base. With each process, from John,Herschel’s cyanotype to contemporary,silver-gelatin emulsion we will mix chemistry and,produce prints in the darkroom. We will learn how,compounds such as potassium carbonate and sodium,sulfite work in print development. We will learn,how to previsualize a desired print outcome, and,how to select and mix chemistry to achieve that,end. With each step, and every process, we will,discuss and practice safety in the lab and in the,darkroom.,
,MATHAMATICAL ART,
,Students will explore the foundations of,trigonometry to experience graphing in the polar,coordinate plane. Students will use angles and,trig functions to create visual representations of,mathematical art while making strong connections,to the relationship of visuals and trigonometry.,Students will also be exposed to 3D Geometry,through graphing on spheres and recognizing how 3,dimensional graphs are used in technology and,visuals.,
, WINTER 2024,
,INTO THE METAVERSE: EXPLORATIONS IN WEB 3.0,
,Into the Metaverse: Explorations in Web 3.0 is an,interactive course experience where students will,be introduced to, experience, and study the,various technologies promised through the vision,of Web 3.0 and how these technologies impact on,our lives. Students will explore extended reality,(XR) through the use of virtual reality (VR),,augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR),,and learn about its uses and applications.,Students will also explore the metaverse through,digital asset marketplaces, learn about,cryptocurrencies, and discover the ethical,challenges concerning artificial intelligence (AI),generators. Students will be required to attend VR,classrooms, VR worlds, and 360 degree,”vecotourism” experiences
