Technology For Artists
Technology for Artists is a course I have developed and taught at Stanford University since 2008. It is a crash-course in website design and development in which students create a high-quality digital portfolio and learn hands-on technology skills. Students work with the Adobe Creative Suite software, Dreamweaver and Photoshop, and affiliated technologies/softwares. Students learn basic design and coding skills (HTML and CSS), trends and strategies in design and digital representation (including usability and typography fundamentals), and create their personal portfolio website. The course is aimed at students (undergraduate or graduate) in any visual, written, or performing arts, including photography, film, music, painting, creative writing, dance, drama, drawing, and computer arts.
