Creative assignments -- up to 50 points (at least 10 evaluated pieces by 5 points):

• 3 points: technical realization and aesthetic quality
• 1 point: exhibition in the course gallery
• 1 point: timely submission

Final project -- up to 50 points (creative graphics application):

• 15 points: concept originality
• 20 points: programming intensity
• 15 points: interface quality

Exam prerequisites:
The final grade corresponds to the points earned during the semester. Students will pass the course after accomplishing half of assignments (50 points). Final project (another 50 points) consists from creating an application for artistic creativity and presenting its creative potential. The application shall be executable on an appropriate platform (Win, OSX, iOS, Linux, Android). Extra points can be attributed for class activity.

The aim of the course (http://artgorithms.droppages.com) is to get acquainted with the principles of mathematics and computer science in the artistic fields, to understand theoretical foundations of algorithmic creativity and software aesthetics, to get an overview of applied computer art, to apply practical skills from the field of software aesthetics, realizeand criticize artistic creations with the aid of computer.

The monitored teaching activities include lectures, creative assignments, and the final project in a form of a creative graphics application. Classes are supported by elearning activities in LMS Schoology. Students are responsible for reading and watching provided materials and participating in class discussions.
Assignments are provided in the form of individually elaborated projects. The classified credit has two possible correction terms.
