The Digital Creativity course will educate students towards creating work that bridges the gap between traditional creative practices and their modern technologically facilitated counterparts from gaming, to graphic design to music and dance. It responds to the continuing appropriation of emerging digital technologies by artists with the aim of discovering new approaches for creative expression, often referred to under the umbrella term ‘Creative Convergence’.
Students will learn how to use a variety of technologies and realize assessed projects; these may include motion capture, haptic feedback, interaction design, data sonification & visualization, animation & sound design, and coding/scripting in relevant languages strictly for creative output. The practical seminars will act as laboratories to experiment with these technologies and enhance their skillsets, working towards a signature practice that primes them for the digital creative sector.
Liverpool Hope University's Information Technology degree prepares students to meet the needs of a wide range of organizations, emphasizing the development of a variety of technologies, especially web and mobile technologies that are increasingly becoming a part of people's everyday lives. During their studies, they will have opportunities to develop computational thinking and a systems approach to formulating, analyzing and solving complex problems.
