ARTP270, Computational Creativity, was recently added to the 8-week summer session to help provide an option for students looking for an ACE 7 approved online course that will also apply as a studio art elective for art majors, art minors, and the BFA in graphic design.
Description:
Combine creative (flexible, imaginative, divergent) thinking and computational (logical, methodical) thinking in fun and unexpected ways to become more creative and more effective in your work. Engage in a
variety of thought-provoking creative thinking exercises (including games, thought experiments and working with a camera), develop your collaborative and process skills such as communication, persistence and play, and design a solution to a real-life problem (large or small).
By taking this course you’ll become a more powerful problem-solver in any discipline. You’ll experience first hand that creative thinking is not just for artists and computational thinking is not just for computer scientists. You’ll equip yourself to compete in a rapidly-changing global society where problems are often complex, open-ended or ill-defined, organizations expect people to work in interdisciplinary teams (often with limited resources) and innovation is prized.
No prior experience with computer science, art, computational thinking or creative thinking is required for this course.
