My Work

day flowers

capturing the moment

For this piece, I was just starting to understand the p5.js interface and learning how coding and art connect. At first, I wasn't sure what I should code but when I started I decided it looked like a flower and went down that route. In making this I learned how to rotate single objects using the "push()" and "pop()" code. As I got used to it and learned more about coding it got easier to do. I learned that it is extremely tedious to do because oftentimes you are typing the same code as the line above or you are trying to guess the x and y coordinates of where you want to place your object. Overall, I think it was a good first piece and it made me more interested in coding art and seeing what else I could create through p5.js.

This is the second piece we made in p5.js. It was made from five words that we got from a "free association" activity. I had the words "clouds" "fruit" "camera" "daydreaming" and "have". With these words, we made a post-internet collage. I tried to incorporate most of these words into the piece and I looked up post-internet collages to gain inspiration. We also got the chance to learn Photopea which is super similar to Photoshop which I had learned before. In Photopea I drew the clouds and added sparkles to the fruit. It was interesting combining both of these tools to make one cohesive artwork but in a collage, it was easier to do that. Because we used Photopea and images off the web, we learned how to insert images into p5.js and how to code them into our art.
