Final Assignment

FINAL ASSIGNMENT

Todays part of the assignment is all about getting inspired about what you can produce with digital arts.

Using, but not limited to the list of websites and medias that I have provided, gather an abundance of inspirational resources of things you would like to try. Projects must stay within the confines of digital arts, but if you have any out of the box ideas please run them by me. Examples of things students might try are 3D printing, video game design, stereoscopic imagery, laser cutting, or further investigating any software covered.

Seniors due date is May 9th

All others will be due May 21st.

Title a folder "Exploration Project" and gather inspirational references (e.g. images,videos,animations,games and etc.) that spark some interest towards a direction that you would like to explore further. You will declare what you're going to explore as an individual or team a.s.ap.
