Course Description
LEARNING OUTCOMES

🔵 🔴 🟡 Course description

Programming and Art II as an elective course is a continuation of the background course Programming and Art I. It is based on the programming language and environment Processing (https://processing.org/), a programming environment developed by artists, for artists. Students become familiar with the basic characteristics of coordinate systems, apply their knowledge to the movement of digital objects through of programming and learn basic principles of designing and developing interactive artistic projects. In the course Programming and Art II, after the introduction to Programming and Art I, the concepts of procedural and object-oriented programming are presented, as well as the ways of using the possibilities of modern technologies in order to deepen the concepts of creative programming.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to

  • Describe the types of art through programming and to explain how technology is connected to art in different contexts.

  • Understand and analyze the basic principles of algorithmic thinking and mathematical perception in art.

  • Explain how the elements of digital design (Color, Shape, Typography, Movement) in combination with human perception can be a trigger for artistic creation and to be able to propose artistic ideas.

  • Delve into the concepts of creative programming and to be able to design and develop their own examples.

EVALUATION

Review language: Greek

🔵 🔴 🟡 Evaluation method:

  • Participation in the workshop, exercises, assignments and oral or written examination - the final grade is obtained as a weighted average of the

    1. Written examination (45%)

    2. Teamwork (30%)

    3. Presentation (20%)

TEACHING - LEARNING METHODS
  • Face-to-face (Lectures, Laboratory Exercise)
  • Study & analysis of bibliography, Interactive teaching, Educational visits, Preparation of a project, Writing of a paper / assignments.
  • Use of slides and laboratory exercises, use of multimedia to demonstrate examples, use of online live coding technique (development of code examples in Processing live with students). Use of e-class.
