Clark College will hold its first public screening of student videos at the historic Kiggins Theatre on Thurs., May 29, at 6 p.m. in an event that will be free and open to the public.
The 90-minute program will feature more than two dozen short-form videos (between one and ten minutes long) produced by students in Clark’s Time-Based Art and Web Video Production classes, as well as a selection of work from students at other area educational institutions including the Pacific Northwest College of Art, Portland State University, Washington State University Vancouver, and the Northwest Film Center.
Clark College has offered classes in Time-Based Art and Web Video Production for the past three and two years, respectively. The Web Video Production class was introduced two years ago when Clark transitioned its Graphics Communication and Printing program into a redesigned Computer Graphics Technology program, which teaches valuable modern-day skills like web design and computer animation. The Time-Based Art class was developed three years ago with the start of new Associate of Fine Arts degrees in Graphic Design and in Studio Art.
The students’ videos range from whimsical works of stop-motion animation to emotional mini-documentaries and personal stories. For a sample work, please visit the college’s YouTube channel.
The Kiggins Theatre is located at 1011 Main St. in downtown Vancouver.
Individuals who need accommodation due to a disability in order to fully participate in these events should contact Clark College’s Disability Support Services (DSS) Office at (360) 992-2314 or (360) 991-0901 (VP). The DSS office is located in room 013 in Clark’s Penguin Union Building.
