Jefferson State’s Art Department offers a variety of classes that can be used for our transfer students and also for a two year Associate Degree. Although many student take art classes just for personal enrichment.

This course introduces important data structures and algorithms that are useful for creating images on a computer, providing students with sufficient background to write substantial computer graphics applications. We introduce the mathematical tools and important computer graphics concepts such as geometric modeling, illumination, texture mapping, and anti-aliasing. Students learn OpenGL, the industry standard API for computer graphics. Students learn to write full-fledged interactive graphics a...

Acquire essential mathematical foundations and algorithms for advanced computer graphics. Become an expert in 3D modeling, texture mapping, curves and surfaces, physics-based modeling, and visualization. Learn the importance of surfaces and shapes. Exploit OpenGL as your API for writing graphics programs. Knowledge of C and C++ programming skills are essential.

Computer graphics has penetrated nearly every corner of today’s growth industries. Used extensively in television, motion pictures, architecture, art, computer-aided design, games, simulation, modeling, visualization, telecollaboration, and interactive illustration, computer graphics has moved forward rapidly because of demands for prototyping tools for 3D modeling, sophisticated scientific visualization, and the need for widely dispersed groups in R&D, management, and elsewhere to share visual ...
