Bowling Green State University excels

Computer Graphics showcases the best work from students around the world. All three images in this issue come from Bowling Green State University's School of Art. Mark Marcin, Assistant Professor of Art and Director of the Computer Art Program, states that although computers are the primary medium, the emphasis is placed squarely on art. Students concentrate their studies on concepts such as light and shadow, color, form and perspective. They then explore these ideas on a computer, the same way a painter explores those concepts with paint and canvas or a glass blower learns to use a canna or soffietta to create a work of art. Although this month's issue features work by university art students, we are actively seeking work by K-12 students and computer science students as well. We hope to hear from you soon. Images must be created by students. They may be created by individuals o r 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 C o m p u t e r Graphics, a teacher may submit up to two images. Each image should be designated either a) K-12; b) art; or c) technical. Images 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 aTIFF 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).
