Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll work with p5.js to create and animate modern artwork. You’ll see how you can use code to replicate the abstract colors and shapes of Russian artist Kazimir Malevich and animate your reproduction into a moving 2D image, then explore the work of American sculptor Alexander Calder and see how it can be reproduced in both 2D and animated 3D.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
