Digital Imaging 1 is the introductory class in computer art in the New Media Academy. Students learn the basics of Photoshop and Illustrator in the fall, and Flash and Dreamweaver in the Spring. The idea is to give the student a firm foundation in digital manipulation through a series of exercises and projects, culminating in the design and construction of functional websites.

The prerequisites of the class are Drawing A & B. Students normally enter this class in the Fall of their Sophomore (10th grade) year.
