Description
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
Introduces innovations in the fine and performing arts to show the range of possibilities open to those who wish to employ or understand the use of moving images in their disciplinary and multidisciplinary art practices. By the completion of the course students should have a good sense not only of previous innovations and traditions, but of the contemporary scene as well. Students with credit for FPA 186 may not take this course for further credit.
COURSE DETAILS:
This course introduces artists and scholars in the fine and performing arts to some of the wonderful ways you can think with and through recorded, time-based, audiovisual media.
In lecture, students will encounter great works from around the world and learn concepts and methods that will help you get the most out of moving-image media.
In tutorials, students will practices these approaches in intensive engagement with the works. This fall we will orient our investigation around perception, the body, and movement. Key terms include embodiment, seeing and hearing, components of the audiovisual moving image, pleasure, rhythm, performance, materiality, indexicality, information, remix, and imagination.

Registrar Notes:
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
