Technology is embedded across the lifecycle of creative change-making, from ideation to construction to sharing. All 4D courses will begin to engage students in learning new technologies while starting the conversation of questioning technology and considering the ramifications of its use in creative practice. It is vital that students are responsible for understanding the digital tools and becoming engaged in the dialogue of our digital culture. In 4D Core Studios, students investigate interactive media, storytelling, diverse cultural contributions, personal and public actions, and social connections. Students also explore collaboration and current events along with technological processes, digital tools, and sequence structure in varied interdisciplinary forms. All 4D courses emphasize designating roles in team projects and time management. Formal properties include image relationships in time, composition in frame, appropriation, image transformation, editing, interactivity, performance, and presentation strategies. Each 4D course option focuses on specific skills such as digital video, sound, image and sequencing images, or the web and interactive media with public interventions. All 4D courses emphasize information literacy, including methods of field research for studio practice, and digital literacy such as professional file management skills and an orientation to CCA's digital labs and equipment.
