Class 01

Class 01 : Self-Portrait

Objective

Learn p5 javascript by using 2D primitive shapes.
Test, try, rinse, and repeat.

What I learn

I found out how to use Arc with angle by using angleMode(DEGREES);.
I learned how to use quad and this one had to try a lot of positions.
Learn to make mistakes in order to develop.

Start to code

I tried to test every 2D function after viewing the tutorials and taking notes. I began by making a face, eyes, eyelashes, and a nose. Understanding basic angles, such as the start point of 0 degrees and the end point of 180 degrees, is necessary in order to use the arc command.

The process

I made mistakes when I didn't finish the command and wrote it clumsily. I consequently looked at the p5 reference and tried to comprehend it. It wasn't a significant error, and I learned much from it. Please see the image below, which changed from my portrait to a cow or buffalo.

Some errors occurred.

Another cow visual.

Final work

Finally, I learned how to use HEX colors instead of RGB colors, and I could choose the color more easily when clicking and picking colors.

How computation applies to your interests. This could be a subject you've studied, a job you've worked, a personal hobby, or a cause you care about. What projects do you imagine making this term?

“As a landscape architect, I’m particularly interested in creating data visualization, heat maps of urban green spaces, geographical visualization, dynamic visualizations of architecture, and creative art. In addition, I’ve spent the last two years collaborating with developers and front-end programmers in my role as a UX UI designer. As a result, I frequently question how to create code, particularly CSS and HTML. In order to broaden my design aspects, I would like to understand how programmers think.

Last but not least, Thai boxing is one of my favorite hobbies while I was still living in Thailand. I enjoy being fluid and having dynamic body movement. I love the way that martial arts style allowed me to express my energies.”
