What is 'Electronic Imaging & Media Art? (EIMA)'
Electronic Imaging and Media Arts is a visual arts discipline in which the computer is the tool for the creation of 2-D drawing and animation, 3-D modeling and animation, web site design, game development and motion graphics for television and the film industry. MCC offers three areas of study: Computer Animation, Interactive Media and Media Integration.
Is it for you?
Do you have a passion for the arts? Do you love to draw? Do you enjoy storytelling, motion pictures and games? Do you have self-discipline, motivation and a desire to be a working artist? A student in Electronic Imaging and Media Arts will choose courses on an individual basis to update professional skills or fashion a customized degree to concentrate and elaborate personal interests and abilities. Students are expected to develop high-level computer graphics skills and a body of creative work based on conceptual understanding of design and effective visual communication. These creative programs involve unusual dedication and an ability to set personal goals and keep to a demanding schedule. Exceptional results require time and effort beyond the scheduled lab hours.
Job Futures
Information and communication technologies are employed in a widely dispersed and decentralized global industry. Students in EIMA enter onto a path to careers in media art, web design, computer games and animation for motion pictures. Careers may also be in production of in-house graphics and animation for various businesses, television, web, and print advertising and interactive training. In most instances students will choose to develop their skills and a unique individual style in programs that offer courses beyond our two year curriculum.
