Title:

    There and Back Again: Graphics Education with a View Towards the Future

Presenter(s)/Author(s):


Abstract:


    Teaching computer graphics has always been a juggling act between teaching fundamental techniques and expressing those techniques through graphics APIs. This talk surveys different teaching options over time, including our techniques expressed in our widely-used textbook. We consider the relevance of teaching graphics APIs given their evolution, and present a proposal for evolving teaching graphics.
