Dynamic
Form DF01: Create a composition with 5 lines, 5 rectangles and 3 ellipses. Use only three colors. DF02: Create a composition with 6 curves. DF03: Create a composition with 6 ellipses and 3 rectangles. Using alpha to create layered effects. DF04: Create a pattern using 100 rectangles and 30 ellipses. Use for or while to draw. Use variables to influence the look of the pattern. DF05: Create a variation on DF04, using random() to distort the pattern. Use a single variable to control the amount of randomness. DF06: Create an array to store x,y coordinates. Write a method to fill it with data. Use the array in conjunction with beginShape() to draw a shape expressing the concept of "order".
Motion & behavior
MV01: Create a program with setup() and loop(). Define 6 x,y coordinates and use them to draw a shape. Update the coordinates inside loop() so that the shape changes or moves around. MV02: Create a visualisation of the time using the second(), minute() and hour() methods. Use some of the ways of generating motion that you've just learned.Help: To get values in the range of 0..1, do the following:
sec=(float)seconds()/60.0f;
min=(float)minute()/60.0f;
hr=(float)hour()/24.0f; MV03: Create a shape. Animate it so that it has one of two appearances: "happy" or "sad". Make it change appearance every 6 seconds. Use both motion and color to communicate the appearance.
Interaction & gesture
IN01: Create two images and load them into Processing. Switch between images when the user clicks the mouse button. IN02: Use mouseX and mouseY to make an object follow the mouse. Animate the object as it moves. IN03: Make a program that draws when mousePressed() or mouseDragged() are called. Use keyPressed() to change the look of the drawing style (i.e. shape, stroke weight, color etc.) IN05: Create a program that allows the user to draw. Use rollover effect to create "buttons" to let the user choose between 3 different colors. IN06: Create a drawing program with a mind of its own. Let the user draw, but integrate some randomness or transformation of the mouse input so that the result is not just a visualisation of the mouse movement. |
