Course description
Creative Coding
Creative coding uses programming and code to produce expressive and artistic works. On this online short course you will learn to use computer code to create unique pieces of computational art, using the accessible and widely used Processing programming language. You will develop an understanding of this new and exciting creative medium and gain the practical skills to begin experimenting and creating works of your own.
Each live session will be interactive and practical, with lots of opportunity to ask questions and discuss with your tutor and classmates. You will receive personal feedback on your assignment work each week from your tutor. In each session you will also work with other students from around the world who will help critique and inspire your artwork.
Throughout the course, you will learn to use programming to create visuals and experiences from scratch. You will obtain a better understanding of how computers and coding works. And you will also learn to integrate programming into your own creative practice using practical and personal projects. This is a fun and exciting new opportunity to further your work through a new medium.
