The Science of Art

We're all used to the idea of computers creating digital images that look as close to reality as possible -- and every year, these images look more real. However, computer graphics can also be used to create more evocative, non-realistic images. For instance, we can manipulate a photograph to look like a Van Gogh painting, a sketchy line-drawing, or a tile mosaic. Learn how these techniques can be used to create beautiful imagery, while also contributing to a scientific understanding of art.
