CS 117 - Computers in Art and Design

(3.00 cr.)

An introduction to computing and programming through algorithmic and interactive art. Students demonstrate the skills needed to program by writing programs that generate patterns, then connect those skills to the concepts of randomness, equations, creativity, and imagination. The question of whether computers can be creative is also considered, which leads to fundamental questions about the nature, limitations, and ethical use of computers and algorithms. Fulfills one math/science core requirement.
