Creative Arts & Technology
In its final year Hamilton Faculty are eligible to receive CAT funding to support experimentation in courses and co-curricular projects.
Hamilton Faculty are eligible to receive CAT funding to support experimentation in courses and co-curricular projects.
CAT funding at Hamilton is supported by the Sherman Fairchild Foundation and encourages pedagogical experimentation in the classroom through the use of new and emerging technologies. We are seeking proposals that infuse technological innovation into the curriculum, encourage collaboration across disciplines and especially target the three Hamilton educational goals of Aesthetic Discernment, Disciplinary Practice, and Creativity. Email calls for proposals will be sent two times a year.
Goals
The goals of the grant are to enhance and extend course assignments and co-curricular experiences through:
- Creating opportunities for digital fluency development among our students that allows them to engage with technologies across the curriculum and to support integrating combinations of technique, form, content, history/context in those endeavors.
- Within the arts, engaging students in digital methodologies in their creative practices, and augmenting existing digital projects while developing new ones. Some examples might include:
- 3D virtual sculpture and digitally constructed and printed sculpture
- Photography in virtual environments including virtual exhibitions
- Multimedia projects using innovative combinations of moving imagery, sound art, performance, installation, and collaboration.
- Creating more experiential learning opportunities with emerging technologies (3D imaging, AR/VR, 2d and 3d animation, mixed reality) and incorporating these into more courses and co-curricular experiences across campus.
