ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Computer graphics (computer science)

Computer graphics is like making a picture on the computer.

You know how when you draw something on paper you use pencils or markers? On the computer, you use special programs that help to create pictures.

These programs are like super smart coloring books that let you create and draw things like people, animals, trees, or even entire worlds.

The computer has a special language called code that helps it understand what kind of picture you want to make. This code tells the computer where to put the lines and colors so that your picture looks just the way you want it to.

Basically, computer graphics is like creating a pretend world or a storybook with pictures, but instead of crayons and paper, you use special computer programs and code to make it happen!
