A survey of computer graphics in art education in Germany

Abstract Computer graphics has become a well established discipline and a subject of academic education in most computer science curricula. Does this fact already show any impact on the curricula of other disciplines? Art education for instance could involve a considerable amount of computer graphics. A survey was conducted in the spring of 1996 in order to obtain a first insight into the current state of computer graphics related education at art schools and art departments of universities in Germany. The present contribution sets forth the topics on which information was sought, and summarizes the resulting information obtained from the persons addressed by this inquiry.
