Looking back on this class, I have learned many practical and theoretical things about new media art. The class discussions allowed me to build my opinions of new media based off of the ideas and experiences of my classmates. I especially enjoyed the hands-on studio aspects of the class that allowed us to be creative with the materials and tools that we were learning about. I can see myself returning to many of the projects we did this semester as inspiration in the future. I think that new media art techniques are an interesting addition to the art classroom and allow students to explore different ways of making.
As for my personal learning objectives for the semester, through the artist research and hands-on work I have become more aware of the benefits of new media materials for artists. The possibilities are endless when it comes to new media art and different artists can use the same materials to create vastly different projects. Digital technology also allows new media artists to display their art in more ways than traditional mediums.
The projects in this class have also helped me accomplish my second learning objective. I have learned to combine different art mediums especially through the final project and my extra credit project. Combining machine embroidery and hand embroidery was an explorative project due to their extreme similarities and major differences.
