Introduction to Creative Computing 2026/2027: 🖍: Individual Work 5: Colour Observation, Living Line I and Ripples
Back to slide index.

This morning we are going to complete three exercises from Code as a Creative Medium, which was written by Tega Brain and Golan Levin. As I said yesterday and the day before, I'd really recommend picking up a copy if you can, it's full of brilliant reference, exercises and project briefs.

This morning we are going to have 10 minutes for the first exercise, with 25 minutes for each of the last two exercises.

A reminder from last week: make these exercises on the online p5.js editor at https://editor.p5js.org - easier for sharing with others and a nice way of building up a portfolio of p5.js sketches.

Let's discuss "Colour Observation" before we all try it on our own on the p5.js editor. Any suggestions? Show the PDF Joel!

Next, let's spend 20 minutes on the "Living Line I" exercise. What should we use to remember all the previous positions of the line? Show the PDF Joel!

Finally we have 20 minutes for the "Ripples in a Pond" exercise. What new programming paradigm could we use for this exercise? Show the PDF Joel!

Thanks! Time for lunch, see you next week.
