Have you ever wondered how ‘Photoshop’ works?
The relationship between technology and art has become increasingly close in public perception. Thanks to previous generations’ efforts in science, mathematics and art, artists can utilize technology and scientific knowledge to develop personalized creative tools. The course is divided into six lessons. It encourages participants to learn more about the history of art and science through Renaissance artworks, as well as helps them sort out the adjustments from film cameras to digital cameras and the latest applications of photography. Last but not least, the instructor will teach them how to use coding for digital image processing.
This course is designed for beginners and requires only a basic knowledge of computer operation and a personal laptop for practice in the classroom. All photographers and enthusiasts are welcome to explore the boundaries of photography with new technology. We will teach you how to create your own camera with coding, leading to unique photographs.
* Students should bring their own laptop.
