Digital Art - Finlandia University

Digital Art from Finlandia University is a Campus Bachelor Design degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. Digital art is a synthesis of illustration, graphic design , photography, and studio art practices and principles executed in a digital (electronic) format. Sounds simple enough. But what does a digital artist do? The invention and proliferation of personal computers and the many graphics programs that run on them has created one of the newest of our art and design disciplines. Professional digital artists are typically employed as illustrators and artists have been in the past-they only real difference being the tools they use. The personal computer has taken the place, for the most part, of more traditional tools such as pencils, pens, brushes, paints, ink, charcoal, and pastels. Many of our graphic design students are particularly drawn to the digital art discipline because it allows a creative and visual freedom that may be limited by the client imposed parameters of a graphic design project. Many of our illustration and studio arts students are drawn to digital art because it permits immediacy-a "see it right now" aspect to their artwork that may have been limited by the nature of more traditional artistic tools. Our digital art students are trained on industry standard computer applications by knowledgeable faculty with backgrounds in both the fine arts and design . Their technical skills are honed to the point where the technology becomes invisible; where they're no longer thinking about how to use the tools, allowing for complete artistic freedom of expression.
