Educational Programs Specializing in Art and Technology
As the world becomes more technologically advanced (changing everything from how we communicate to how we travel, think, read, and beyond), artists are constantly developing new techniques and creating novel trends based on the use of “technologically advanced” materials, resources and inspirations.
If you consider yourself both a “techy” and an artist (or are interested in finding out more about using technology in various art forms - and perhaps turning it into a career), check out a few of the programs that are offered throughout the US in this increasingly growing realm of technological contemporary art:
The University of Tampa’s Bachelor of Arts in Electronic Media Art and Technology
The University of California, Santa Barbara’s Media Arts and Technology Graduate Program
The University of Texas, Dallas’ Art and Design Technology Degree Program
The School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s MFA in Art and Technological Studies
The Pratt Institute’s A.O.S. in Digital Design and Interactive Media
Celebrating the Talent of Cartoonists
The Professional Cartoonists’ Organization recently hosted its 17th Shrewsbury International Cartoon Festival, and this year’s theme was “Magic, Myth and Mystery.” The festival offered unique opportunities to see cartoonists at work. While 20 of the artists created huge boards displayed in the city’s square, others drew caricatures and ran cartoon workshops for people of all ages.
