ARTS-115 - Computing in the Arts

3 credits

This beginning computer course is for people who want to use the computer creatively in the fine arts. Three principal modes of producing computer images: bit-mapped graphics, object-oriented graphics, and image scanning-are introduced. Students use procedures-based programming to generate visual images, list processing for linguistic experimentation, and desktop publishing to explore layout and composition. Sound generation techniques are introduced. This is a lab/studio course taught on a network of Macintosh computers. Three studio and three lab hours.
