Make robots do the work! Create art through code and experience the joy of algorithmic drawing.

To enjoy this class, you will need previous coding experience - the specific language isn't important, just the major concepts. If this tutorial makes sense then you're good to go.

p5.js is a JavaScript library for creative coding, with a focus on making coding accessible and inclusive for artists, designers, educators, beginners, and anyone else. It is both simple to use and capable of handling complex ideas. You can see p5JS in action at OpenProcessing.org

By using randomization and loops in our code we can create art that is unique and sometimes even surprising. We will cover not only the technical aspects of p5.js but also artistic tools for adding dimension and interest to sketches.

Based on the original Java-based Processing software, p5.js programs are portable and easy to run anywhere. You do not need any specific development environment and any computer with a web browser capable of running JavaScript will work.
