Course Descriptions

By introducing programming skills and explaining the relationship between code and visual elements, this course aims to expand the visual literacy of students while simultaneously allowing them to apply creative ideas from static media to interactive media. A deep understanding of the general principles of programming and the design principles guiding interactivity are indispensable when harnessing the full potential of interactive media. The purpose of this course, however, is not to train students to become programmers. It will rather arm them with sufficient knowledge of dynamic media to enable them to develop and exploit these media in their creative endeavours. Students will learn how manipulation, creation, and transformation of visual elements are done through programming codes. In addition, they will explore and become familiar with the domain of generative visual arts and design by gaining an understanding of how concepts such as iterations, recursion, random function, and the L-system have evolved as concepts in computing. Upon completing the course, students should be able to develop visual applications in a range of creative and media productions.
