“…Early educational literature on integrating media software into the North American classroom expressed excitement about the new pedagogical possibilities it afforded. Some educators taught graduates to be proficient in different programming languages and to be able to write their own media software (Eber, 2000). Others emphasized that the future of software for teaching the arts should be guided at its core by relevant teaching philosophies (Welter, 1989).…”

Research on cultural industries suggests that the constant and rapid change to digital technologies used by creative practitioners requires that they continually upgrade their skills in order to remain relevant in their occupations. In this article, we present the results of an investigation into the mediation of Photoshop, focusing on how this digital imaging application software and its content are used to mediate access to cultural work. Teaching and learning Photoshop is presented as a key set of practices for digitally mediated cultural work, raising interesting paradoxes concerning Photoshop’s status as a digital imaging standard and how it is used by practitioners to negotiate access to occupations. The findings are drawn from two phases of an ongoing research project that includes interviews with practitioners in Canada and the United Kingdom and participant observation in a Greater Vancouver higher education institution.Les transformations technologiques constantes et rapides des médias numériques utilisées parmi les praticiens des industries culturelles exigent une mise à jour continuelle de compétences. Nous présentons ici les résultats d’une étude de la médiation de Photoshop, particulièrement en ce qui a trait à l’utilisation de cette application pour l’imagerie numérique et son contenu pour la médiation de l’accès aux occupations de praticiens établis. Nous soutenons que l’enseignement et l’apprentissage de cette application font partis constituants du travail dans les domaines de la culture. Les donnés présentés ci-dessous sont tirés de deux phases d’un projet de recherche : une phase d’entrevues avec praticiens Canadiens et Britanniques, et une phase d’observation participante dans un établissement d’enseignement dans la région de Vancouver.

“…There were several efforts to combine CG and art where the graduates were able to communicate properly with ‘both worlds’, e.g. in special study programmes like [Oll99, BA06, Ebe00, OC00, CMA10, CD02] and some others. At CTU, an alternative approach was selected: creation of a specific art based course that in combination with other courses (e.g.…”

This paper presents the latest advances and research in Computer Graphics education in a nutshell. It is concerned with topics that were presented at the Education Track of the Eurographics Conference held in Lisbon in 2016. We describe works corresponding to approaches to Computer Graphics education that are unconventional in some way and attempt to tackle unsolved problems and challenges regarding the role of arts in computer graphics education, the role of research‐oriented activities in undergraduate education and the interaction among different areas of Computer Graphics, as well as their application to courses or extra‐curricular activities. We present related works addressing these topics and report experiences, successes and issues in implementing the approaches.
