New Digital Media and Technology Blog

Term Projects Due May 1

Digital Art Projects must be accompanied by a paper evaluating the project in the terms and compared to the examples and readings from the course.  All citations and borrowed material must be referenced as traditional footnotes/endnotes and use a reputable system.

 

Blogs must be substantial enough to serve as the equivalent of a term paper.  Commentary must be substantive and knowledgeable and spelling must be checked and corrected.  

 

Good luck!
