A lot of people think if you major or have a career in the arts you have to be innovative and creative. A lot of people don’t associate creativity with science and technology. But learning how to code, I see there is a lot of creativity involved in computer science. First of all, when I learn HTML I learn the foundation of the website. This was honestly the most boring part and excruciating part of the website i had to endure how to do. After that I learned CSS which is how you style the website and make it fancy. I love this part because this is where the creativity comes into place. The CSS is what makes your website different than anyone else’s. You can choose which colors and where you want to put the colors. I learned you don’t just have to type in the value of blue or red to the property of color. You can choose light blue or type in the value of a color through hexadecimals to find a more specific color like magenta. Also You can add features such as a slide-show or a parallax on your website. Computer Science is like math where if you don’t put in the right formulas, it won’t work. However, at the same time, it is like acting because you have to constantly improvise and adjust the website like an actor improvises lines and adjusts his/her character for a movie.
