Tech Art is essentially a mini capstone design course. Throughout the term there are two major projects that need to be completed. It's extremely fun to work with your interdisciplinary team to create some interesting new art. It does also require quite a lot of work to get everything finished in time (on average about an extra hour per week in addition to the scheduled class time). Overall, Tech Art is an extremely fun course where you can learn new skills and meet new people. Just be prepared to be able to put in the time to make your art piece look great!
