Code as Creative Medium: A Handbook for Computational Art and Design

This book is an essential resource for art educators and artists who want to explore code as a creative medium, and a guide for computer scientists transitioning from "STEM to STEAM" in their syllabi or practice.

It offers a collection of classic creative coding prompts or assignments, accompanied by annotated examples of historic or contemporary projects, more than 150 illustrations of creative work, and interviews with leading educators.

It provides alternative programming pedagogies missing from standard programming guides, including art- and design-oriented toolkits, teaching approaches, assignments, and community support structures.
