Praxis 3 | heuristics A process of self-discovery Let’s recall the synthesized diagram of the creative process and identify Heuristics as one of the two defining processes of Iteration. Heuristics is paired with Prototyping in this scheme, so they should be understood as two sides of the Iteration coin: often concurrent, they find themselves building… read more »
Praxis 2 | statement A student-directed learning experience What does the student do? Advanced newMedia students have foundational conceptual skill sets in 2D (image), 3D (space), and 4D (time) contexts, and have succeeded in making work in a range from tactile (drawing, sculpture, etc.) to digital media, often blending the two. On this basis, the… read more »
