ASCII ART

the concrete and abstract collide

To many of us, STEM may seem not even remotely related to art. STEM is solid and concrete, full of calculations and right answers. Art is free and subjective, a realm where there exists no singular right answer. But amazingly, STEM touches every aspect of our lives, and art is certainly one of them. Learn to splash vivid colours across the canvas as lines of code, to flourish keyboards as our paintbrushes.

ASCII ART

We taught students to code their own artistic designs on programming platforms such as Python.

Below is everything you need to know about ASCII art: what it is, the mechanics behind it, and how to create your own.
