Course Descriptions

This is an introductory course in computation within context of media and art with a focus on two-dimensional graphics. The potential of computer as medium will be considered through exercises, assignments, readings, and critiques. Both procedural and object-oriented programming will be explored, as well as, using input and output of files, generative techniques, and image creation through data processing.

Learning Outcomes

1. Apply critical thinking in writing and oral presentation skills
2. Analyze the social and cultural importance of computational media art
3. Use technical proficiency to create computational media art
4. Create a two-dimensional computational-based project
