Overview

Program Learning Outcomes

The Film, Video, New Media and Animation as art forms are not simply techniques, but are defining elements of our culture and society. The School of the Art Institute of Chicago department from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago moves far beyond a traditional approach to the media, investigating the inherent possibilities in nonfiction, narrative, installation, interactive art, curatorial work, and web-based projects.

FVNMA graduate students often invent interdisciplinary, hybrid work exploiting traditional forms to create new avenues of expression, and the department is highly supportive of this exploration and risk-taking.
