VFS' Creative Coding: Python for Artists (online) Oct 3 - Dec 5

Summary:

Creative Coding introduces Python through a project-based approach designed specifically for artists, designers, and visual learners. Rather than focusing on abstract computer science concepts, students learn programming by solving practical problems, automating creative workflows, building simple applications, manipulating images, and exploring modern AI-assisted development techniques.By the end of the course, students will have developed the confidence to continue learning independently while understanding how programming can become a valuable tool throughout their creative careers.
