Abstract
The subject of computer graphics offers a special educational opportunity for bringing together students from the two cultures of the arts/humanities and of the sciences/technologies. The author describes a computer graphics course with this approach. Several important problems arise because of students' varying backgrounds in programming and their expectations, the lack of suitable texts, and the lack of suitably-oriented computer graphics centers. The course schedule is composed of lectures, discussions of readings, and workshops in a computer graphics facility. The hardware and software basis of the course is flexible. Students complete an assigned initial project, a final project of their choice, and are responsible for documenting their project visually and verbally before the close of the semester. Student performance and evaluation of the course suggest this cross-cultural approach is a valid, worthwhile experiment to introduce the structure and significance of computer graphics imagery and computer graphics display systems.
