| Overall Educational Objective | To learn to understand the concept of interactive spaces and programming as a creative medium and to explore the computer environment as a tool capable of powerful creative possibility, not via pre-built software, but instead by writing code. | ||||||||
| Course Description | This course is an introduction to computer programming within the context of interactive environments, visual arts and image. Students will look at the basic structures and affordances of code as inspiration for designing interaction between user and space, making artworks, and as a tool capable of creating things that would be hard by hand. It promotes conditional and systematic thinking. | ||||||||
| Course Description in Turkish | Bu ders, kullanıcıyla etkileşimli mekanlar, görsel sanatlar ve imaj ekseninde bilgisayar programlamaya giriş niteliğindedir. Ders kapsamında öğrenciler, kodlamanın temel strüktürünü ve potansiyellerini irdeleyecek ve kullanıcı-mekân arasında iletişimi tasarlamak, görsel sanat eserleri yapmak ve elde yapılması zor olabilecek tasarım ürünleri yapmak gibi konularda kodlamadan ilham alacaklardır. Ders koşullu ve sistematik düşünmeyi teşvik etmektedir. |

ozgans@mef.edu.tr Email: ozgans@mef.edu.tr Students are required to attend % 70 of the classes in theoretical courses. Consequently, absenteeism exceeding 4 weeks (classes) will result in failure. %70 Attendance is essential for this course. Most of the class time will be allocated to discussion of weekly topics. Students have to be prepared and upload their weekly assignments before coming to class late submissions take points off. All students are responsible for behaving personally and academically in a way that is expected from a university student. That behavior includes but is not limited to respecting views and ideas of peers; not being involved in a discriminating behavior concerning race, religious beliefs, sexual orientation; always using one’s own ideas in their projects.
