This introductory course is intended to teach the fundamentals of video to students who have not used the medium for artistic production. Students will learn the basics (shooting, lighting, sound, recording, and editing) by producing short videos. The course will sharpen production skills and strengthen personal voices; the projects are intended to help students explore, experiment, even challenge, the unique properties of the video medium and the environments in which video art is shown.

This class will continue to develop critical and technical skills and support work outside single channel boundaries including installation and live performance. The class involves technical workshops, cultural studies, group critiques, and frequent screenings.

The semester includes field trips, visiting artists, technicians, and curators to expose students to a range of viewpoints and to support their production process.
