In this course, we will continue the introduction to creative coding using p5.js. We will be inspired by Aloisio Magalhaes' cartemes to learn how to create imagetic compositions from code.
You will learn how to import external files such as images and fonts. We will learn about arrays - or lists - to be able to handle groups of variables. We will explore array transformations with displacement and rotation of the conventional p5.js coordinate system. Also, we will learn how to save images created during interaction with the code we created.
Class 1: Presentation by teacher Barbara Castro - from motion design to artistic data visualization
Class 2: Importing external files
Class 3: Text
Class 4: Arrays
Class 5: Images
Class 6: Camera
Class 7: Compositions
The project of the course is to create an image composition inspired by the cartoons of Aloisio Magalhaes.
Minimum knowledge of p5.js or watching part 1 of the introduction to creative coding is recommended. Internet access and a computer are required to take the course.
Software: Processing
