Event Overview
Are you curious about coding, but may be intimidated to try or have had a difficulty in previous courses? Are you a creative interested in developing a digital installation, but have no coding experience? Are you just interested in creating digital artwork, but have no prior experience? This is a low-barrier, fun introduction to creative coding for any beginner.
We will be coding with JavaScript in p5.js, a free digital sketchbook tool. This tool is used by artists and DJs to create digital installations. This workshop is for anyone who has never coded and wants to explore digital spaces, anyone interested in learning about computational art or anyone just looking for a fun way to learn to code and foster their creativity. This is a very introductory workshop, so no experience is necessary. Students will learn to code by creating digital artworks. You will learn to draw shapes, manipulate colors and incorporate mouse and keyboard interactions. By the end of the workshop, each student will create digital 2D stills and basic interactive drawings.
Please join me in this fun, introductory course. Come with a computer, and have P5 already downloaded: https://p5js.org. We'll be jumping right in.
