Project 1: Art in Motion

Due Tuesday, April 15th
For your next project, you will need to absorb some of NYC’s art. Your best bet is to go to MoMA, as they have the most extensive Modern art collection. Other options are the Met, Brooklyn Museum, Whitney, or Guggenheim’s Modern art galleries.

You will need to find an abstract painting that conveys a sense of motion. During the color presentation, we talked about Piet Mondrian’s Broadway Boogie Woogie, which is a good example. Take a photo of it while you’re at the museum and write down the title and artist’s name so that you can research it later.

In Processing, you will need to recreate your chosen work, in whole or in part, through procedural drawing (you may not use the PImage object). The goal is to take the implied motion, and translate it into animation.

On Tuesday, April 15th, you are to bring to class:

  1. Proof of your museum visit: a dated museum receipt or ticket/button, a surreptitious camera phone picture of yourself.
  2. Your Processing sketch, which should run correctly. No incomplete sketches, no compiler errors.
  3. Yourself, prepared to present your sketch and tell us some information about the work you chose (including title, artist, art period in which the work was done, a brief description of the artist’s style, analysis/history of the particular work). You should have a digital image of the original artwork, so that we can compare it with your work.

Midterm review

Color (Color Presentation has been updated)

color bgColor;
void setup() {
  bgColor = color(255, 0, 255);
}
void draw() {
  background(bgColor);
  println("red:" + red(bgColor));
  println("green: " + green(bgColor));
  println("blue: " + blue(bgColor));
  println("hue: " + hue(bgColor));
  println("saturation: " + saturation(bgColor));
  println("brightness: " + brightness(bgColor));

  noLoop();
}

Arrays

char[] letters = new char[7];

void setup() {
  for(int i=0; i<7; i++)
    letters[i] = char(i+65);

  letters[2] = 'Z';
}

void draw() {
 for(int i = 0; i<7; i++)
  println(letters[i]); 

  noLoop();
}

Motion and Timing

int x, y;
int lineX;
int startingX;
void setup() {
  size(600, 600);
  x= -300;
  y=0;
  startingX=x;
  lineX = 0;
}

void draw() {
  if(frameCount % 5 == 0) {
    line(lineX, 0, lineX, height);
    lineX+=5;
    if (lineX > width)
      lineX = 0;
  }
  rect(x, y, 100, 100);
  x++;
  y+=2;
  if ((y > (height-100)) || (x > width)) {
    startingX+=100;
    x=startingX;
    y=0;
  }
  if (startingX > width)
    startingX = -400;
}

Keyboard and Mouse Input (plus assignment #3)

Assignment #3: Modify the key sketch to include the following new features:

1) DO NOT allow the circle to fall off the screen.

2) Allow the user to adjust the size of the circle by pressing [ (to decrease the size) and ] (to increase the size). Do not allow the size to exceed the edges of the screen. This means that maximum size is dependent on the circle’s position on the screen.

3) Design and implement your own idea for a new feature that is controlled by mouse input.

color 2: ranges of colors (plus Assignment 2)

Start from today’s code (after the link). Complete the original goal of having the “magic” bar display a complementary color to the other bars’ range of colors. See the email sent to the list for more information.

Assignment 1

Combine sketch1 and sketch2 in the following way:
remove the horizontal line from sketch2, and replace it with the circle from sketch1. The circle should maintain its original characteristics (rate of motion across window, bouncing when falling off the window). The rectangles should also retain their drawing pattern.

Feel free to grab clean copies of each sketch off of the blog, sketch2 has been cleaned up and the rectangles are more neatly positioned. You may want to also clean up the bouncing, so that it actually happens when the circle “touches” the edge of the window.
