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.
book resources
When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
prerequisites
For JavaScript programmers interested in developing or rediscovering their creativity with easy visual computing techniques.TOOLS
- Basic JavaScript
- Basics of p5.js
- Basic debugging
- Basic math such as linear algebra (vectors and vector addition) and geometry
you will learn
In this liveProject series, you’ll expand your perspectives on programming and turn a professional craft into a fun activity once again. By revisiting computational concepts from a creativity-inspired angle, you’ll learn how code can be an expressive and explorative tool instead of just a problem solver.- p5.js canvas and 2D/3D coordinate system
- p5.js drawing primitives and transformations in 2D/3D
- p5.js draw loop and animation basics
- p5.js PVector class
