Image Sandbox

[edit] Digital Imaging in Our Curriculum

Digital imaging instruction and practice in the Dig Movements program provides program members with the opportunity to gather materials for the illustration and documentation of our research. We each are developing project galleries that contain both documentary photos and original, artistic images created in Photoshop using collage, filtering, layering, and other digital imaging techniques.

[edit] Why We Make Art

We are including artistic images in our work because the arts have a vitally important role in the history of social movements, through forms like song, poetry, painting, tagging, street theatre, and others. We believe in the power of art to peacefully communicate messages of societal reform and social change, and we're bringing that power with us to the web. We are using one of our textbooks, The Art of Protest: Culture and Activism from the Civil Rights Movement to the Streets of Seattle, by T.V. Reed (2005), as our guide.

[edit] Project Galleries

This Image Sandbox is a shared gallery, where we're collecting our earliest efforts in creating digital visual art. Our index to project galleries provides navigation to the imaging work done for individual projects. We are fortunate to have two visual artists who work in the digital medium as our instructors, Amy Greene and Hugh Lentz.
