Personal Learning Objectives

 

What I Hope to Learn in This Class

In this class, I want to better understand how digital tools shape thinking and meaning as creative systems. I’m interested in how new media can move beyond surface level effects and become a way to build complex and intentional work.

I care most about learning how to work with digital processes in a thoughtful and sustained way, while staying aware of authorship, decision-making, and concept. I want to develop a practice where technology supports depth rather than replacing it.

My Top Three Learning Objectives

1. To develop depth in digital process. I want to move past quick or intuitive use of digital tools and learn how to work iteratively, making intentional choices over time.
2. To understand new media as form, not just tool. I want to explore how technology itself shapes structure, interaction, and meaning, rather than using it only to execute pre-existing ideas.
3. To connect personal interests with new media practice. I want to use digital methods to explore themes I already care about, such as memory, nature, identity, and symbolism, and see how new media can expand those ideas.
