Graphic design has begun to merge into programming in contemporary practice through creative coding. Open source tools, such as Processing and p5js, have been specifically developed to help visual artists and designers with this interest. This course will introduce students to manipulating form with these tools and processes. Interactive, generative art and design work will be explored through making. Students will be introduced to a range of contemporary artists and designers whose practice incorporates experimental programming. Additionally, we will explore the history and key figures who developed these tools. The course prioritizes the creative visual potential of computer programming beyond the pragmatic and functional.
