Computer Graphics: High School Course

[ReggieB]

My school gets complicated. We have a few classes that might be what you are thinking of:
-Digital Art, which covers Photoshop and Illustrator for one semester each. This isn't exactly an accelerated program.
-Computer Graphics, which covers applets and drawing with the Java programming language. This is a post-AP comp.sci class.
-3d Graphics, which covers openGL, and has computer graphics as a pre-req.
-Advanced Applications of Software, which briefly covers a bunch of programs including photoshop,illustrator,fireworks,flash,and, depending on time, raydream's studio (a 3d thingy).
-Research and Experimentation, a.k.a. advanced tech ed, which includes using Inventor.
-they are trying to start a CAD class to use AutoCad

So, Digital Art is a waste of time, and i wouldnt have taken it except for the required art credit. It would be better if the class could go farther in depth, or be a one semester class.
Graphics and 3d graphics are great classes, but only if you like programming
Adv. Apps is OK, some of the topics (like html) are boring if you know them. But flash is a nice animation program.

the others i did not take.

Hope this helps.
