Coding

I think coding gave me the biggest headache out of our previous class assignments. While I think it's the most interesting and has the most possibilities to incorporate personality, coding is SO FRUSTRATING. I enjoyed figuring out ways to recreate the image I selected with geometrical shapes but I got confused when it came time to animate the image and create interaction.

These applications were easy to understand in a general sense but were harder to manually apply to the sketch:

void setup(){}

else{}

if (mousePressed){}

I had a hard time knowing where to input the codes and how to avoid screwing up the design I already had. Although, thinking about it now, its the same set of rules that applied to creating the image and using things such as noStroke( ), stroke( ), or Fill( ):

Whatever you put before, comes first.

 

I slightly regret picking such a complicated image to replicate because I feel like it held me back from exploring animating with code. However, it was fun abstracting such a famous painting to see how much I could simplify it and have it still be recognizable.
