Exercise 1 Combination

Combination of Exercise 1 is a collection of some of the basic functions, operators and control statements available in Processing. This project utilizes the sin function to create a wave-like animation. Println() function and String is used to make sure the code is running correctly. colorMode is used to set the range of color that the code can display. Smooth() helps rasterize the image.

Exercise 2

Exercise 2 is taking the ideas explored in the previous exercise and expanding the functions possible. Exercise 2 begins to have interactivity with the use of mousePressed and keyPressed functions. Images are imported into the project and displayed. In this exercise specifically, the mousePressed function is utilized when pressing on the rectangle in the window. Clicking on the rectangle changes the color as well as exposes a series of text that scrolls down continuously. Pressing on the Q button changes the main color from black to white. A small image is displayed in the bottom right.

Project 1

The drawing program I created is simple, but has potential for interesting and unique applications. The color scheme is grayscale, and though only three “shades” are available to draw with, there is a lot that can be done. My main intent was to just create a program that works. Programing is my weakest suit in regards to digital media art. I wanted to create something simple but true to my visual aesthetics.
