May 1 - 22, 2010
Reception/Portfolio Night: Wednesday, May 5, 7-9pm
Screening of Thesis Projects: Wednesday, May 13, 7pm
SVA Theatre
School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents “Computer Art, Computer Animation and Visual Effects Senior Thesis Projects,” an exhibition of still images from thesis projects by students in the BFA Computer Art, Computer Animation and Visual Effects Department. The exhibition is curated by Department Chair John McIntosh.
“The ability to convince and entertain with computer-generated imagery has become an essential tool of the moving image arts,” explains McIntosh. “To represent these exceptional artistic enterprises with a single image is tantamount to representing a painting with a single brush stroke or a poem by extracting one word. While the curatorial obligation is to edit, aesthetically it can serve only to encourage the viewer to look further and to view not only a single frame but also the entire project.”
Junior and Senior student portfolios will also be on view during the exhibition reception on Wednesday, May 5 on the 2nd and 3rd floors of 133/141 West 21st Street. Students will be on hand to discuss their work with visitors.
Computer art, computer animation and visual effects students are given the technical skills necessary to enter a successful career in film, television, commercial and video-game productions. They have access to the most advanced digital applications and are guided to develop both the personal and professional capabilities expected in the top tiers of highly competitive creative industries. Using a production-based curriculum, students create portfolio-ready work each year; during the junior and senior years, students receive specialized instruction that ensures they master both the techniques and the craft required to produce a final thesis project.
