Animation: Media Arts
admin
Media arts is a relatively new field in the art world and is a direct marriage of art and technology. It is a term that has grown to encompass all of the visual and performing arts if the result is broadcast, developed, blended, or presented in the context of various media. In this sense media is communications and recording technology.
Some may disagree with this definition but people constantly disagree about what should be classified where. In the end, it really does not matter. For the sake of this discussion, it will refer to audio/visual art production. This includes videography (digital and analog), computer animation, sequential photography, and sound mixing.
Media arts schools teach students how to combine these various aspects and produce works with the aid of modern technology. You may also find dedicated film schools at these institutions. In larger university settings, media may be a department within the visual art schools along with film or in some other combination.
The Best Training in Media Arts
Media arts, as with most of the arts, do not receive the recognition or funding that maybe they should from large public universities. Private universities sometimes do a better job of it. The best training, however, comes from schools that dedicate themselves to giving their students intensive and exhaustive training in their chosen art form.
