Course of Study

Here are examples of some of the artists / works / ideas we will be exploring across the ten weeks paired with the technical topics we will discuss. Each week we will explore an individual or pair of artists/designers and examine their work and process in detail.

  • Chaos and Order (Vera Molnar)
  • Animation and Harmony (John Whitney)
  • Computational Typography (Muriel Cooper / John Maeda)
  • Pattern (Bridgette Riley / Anni Albers)
  • Pixels (Ken Knowlton / Lillian F. Schwartz)
  • Images (Nancy Burson / Jason Salavon)
  • Body (Camille Utterback and Romy Achituv / Myron Krueger)
  • Glitch / Deformation (Rosa Menkman / Steina and Woody Vasulka)

Expectations

Students are expected to have basic knowledge of coding and familiarity with using variables, functions, control structures. If you are a beginner, we recommend you take SFPC Coding Bootcamp before applying for this class.

The class will be taught for 2 hours weekly with an additional ½ hour to 1 hr or asynchronous content which includes short lectures and code explanations. The homework will take additional time per week depending on the complexity of the artwork being recreated (Estimated 1-4 hours / week). In addition the teacher and TA will each offer 2 hours of office hour support, at a scheduled time TBD throughout the week. We will use github, dropbox paper, and slack as our primary tools with zoom used for the class meetings and TA hours. Recordings of the live portions of each class will be archived and shared with participants for a limited time.

Is this class for me?

This class is right for you if:

  • You have a basic knowledge of code (for example, you’ve taken SFPC bootcamp class or have experience with coding in p5, etc)
  • You are interested in learning the craft of creative coding
  • You enjoy researching / learning about how artists work
  • You enjoy working with others

This class is not right for you if:

  • You have no experience with code
  • You are interested in a more skills based, less theoretical approach to learning creative code
  • You are not interested in research or engaging with artworks from the past
