Computer Graphics are a branch of Computer Science that deals with generating images with the aid of computers. They can be created via image processing, video and photo editing, artificial intelligence, and other computer-based design systems. These images are either rastered (composed through a grid of individual pixels) or vectored (composed through mathematical relationships between points and paths).
Common applications of Computer Graphics include CGI animation, augmented reality, graphical user interfaces, 3D rendering, scene modeling, and many others. They’re important to learn about for individuals interested in career paths in art, media, design, development, science, and various others.
