Summary

Get ready to combine your creativity with the power of technology! In this fun, hands-on class, you'll turn your computer into an art studio and learn how to make your own digital creations. You'll use JavaScript or Python to recreate famous artworks--and then design your own. Along the way, you'll pick up key computer science concepts like functions, variables, loops and arrays that bring your artwork to life. You'll also try out Procreate and experiment with how AI tools might inspire new kinds of artistic expression. By the end of the work, you'll have a collection of your own digital artworks and the programming skills to keep creating long after class ends.
