New for students who enter KCAI as freshmen in fall 2010, the digital media department provides students with a grounding in the fundamental skills, concepts, technologies and aesthetic principles related to professional practice in four interrelated areas: electronic game design art; motion graphics; visual effects; and 3-D design and modeling.
These areas have become central to wide-ranging fields of cultural production in contemporary society. To prepare students for challenges, opportunities and leadership in professional practice, the program has developed a common digital media curriculum in the sophomore year, with areas of curricular concentration in game design art, motion graphics, visual effects and 3-D design and modeling in the junior and senior years.
