Drawing with Machines

Resources for Golan Levin's Drawing with Machines Course
Carnegie Mellon University School of Art & IDeATe

This is an advanced studio course in experimental drawing and generative art. Working at the boundaries of creative code, automation, physical materials, and gestural mark-making, we will explore the use of algorithms and machine collaborators as nontraditional intermediaries between mind, hand, paper, and mark.
