Student Gallery
This month’s Student Gallery features programming projects from introductory computer science classes. All of them involved writing programs in C or C++ and made use of various OpenGL libraries. Details about the courses and the individual assignments appear in the Education column in this issue of Computer Graphics.
We are always looking for student work in any area of computer graphics, and we hope you will consider sending us your students’ work.
Submission Guidelines
Images must be created by students. They may be created by individuals or groups of students. The act of creating an image must involve a computer in some way.
Teachers will submit images for their students. For each issue of Computer Graphics, a teacher may submit up to two images. Each image should be designated either a) K-12, b) art or c) technical.
Image may be submitted electronically or on 35mm slides. For electronic submissions, students will need to prepare two versions of their images. The first version should be a TIFF file that is 300 dpi and approximately five inches long in the longer dimension. In other words, the image should be approximately 1500 pixels in its longer dimension. The second version should be a .gif file containing a thumbnail no bigger than two inches at 72 dpi on its longest side (144 pixels long). Instructions and forms for electronic submission are located at our website.
Any student whose work is featured in Computer Graphics will receive a copy of the issue in which his or her work appears. In addition, both student and teacher will receive a small but much coveted prize. For additional information about this feature, visit the website or contact one of the jurors.
