| DESCRIPTION | Introduction to Computational Art will consist of lectures introducing students to the fundamentals of computer art, followed by special topics that will expand on their ability to express themselves experimentally with code. The study-unit will introduce students to applications that involve basic coding and principles of Artificial Intelligence in relation to art and design. Special topics will focus around interactivity, image, audio and text processing. Study-Unit Aims: - Provide a solid foundation of computational art; - Provide students with skills to develop interactive and experimental programs; - Encourage students to think critically about interactivity and experimentation in code. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - recognize the creative opportunities of computational art; - identify the fundamental concepts of visual programming; - employ the fundamental concepts of interactive software to art and design projects; - critically discuss and justify interactive and experimental projects. 2. Skills By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - identify computational art processes and applications that contribute to image making; - implement programs that can create and import images and make use of image data; - implement programs that can create and import audio files and make use of audio data; - develop their own experimental programs that express their ideas and interests. |
