Java Processing 入门：

代码及视觉艺术的结合

Visual Arts with Code

本课程专为具有创造性思维的同学设计。结合可视化的编码草图，同学们将学习如何在 Processing（一种基于 Java 的编程工具）中进行编程。使用这个工具，同学们将学习基本的编程语言。虽然编程一般被认为是一种注重逻辑且较 Geek 的问题解决方法，本课程打破了这些局限。在创作图形艺术的同时，挖掘学生跨学科潜力。通过编写视觉草图，同学们将学习一些重要的计算机编程概念，如函数及循环，以及一些基本的设计理论，如黄金比例。利用颜色、形状及代码，同学们将编写他们自己独一无二的海报，并能将印刷版带回家。

This course is designed for the creative minded. Within the context of the visual coding sketches, students will learn how to code in Processing, a Java-based, flexible software tool which serves as a gentle introduction to typing based coding languages. While coding is often regarded as a logical and rather cold way of solving problems, this course breaks these expected boundaries to produce amazing graphic arts and present new opportunities to explore the potential of computational power across many disciplines and professions. Through programming visual sketches, students will be introduced to key computer science concepts like functions and loops, as well basic design theories such as the golden ratio. Constrained by colors, shapes and code, each student will be guided to program their own one-of-a-kind poster and bring a hard-copy back home.
