Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Arts Digital Media Track

Digital Media 

The Department of Art’s Digital Media program teaches students to use the creative tools of tomorrow. 

In Digital Media, students will explore the ways in which new technologies are engines of personal exploration and cultural production. They will experiment with new ways of expressing themselves through video, interactive media, and digital fabrication and will discover that technology is a tool for creative experimentation, an instrument for the artistic manipulation of data, and the creation of dynamic user experience and interaction. The skills students acquire in Digital Media will prepare them for careers in a variety of cultural industries.

Potential areas of exploration in YSU’s Digital Media program include:

• Video 
• Web-based Art
• 3D Printing and Digital Fabrication
• Mechatronics and Physical Computing
• Creative Coding

The department offers classrooms and work space in Bliss Hall, the Butler Institute of American Art, and the McDonough Museum. Our computer labs feature Mac workstations with the full Adobe Creative Cloud including Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere, as well as Rhinoceros 3D, and open-source creative software like Processing and Arduino. Our fabrication labs feature digital tools such as 3D printers, CNC routers, and laser cutters.
