Welcome to the Creative Coding studio.

In this Creative Coding studio, we will learn coding with the lens of creativity. We will be learning Javascript using a library based on Processing; a programming language made specifically for visual artists and designers. We will explore the possibilities of our designs through the disciplines of interactive art and generative design.

As the field of Digital Media expands so does the potential of what we can imagine and create as designers. Throughout the semester, we will explore multiple methods of image making as an artistic form, interactive medium and generative system. From patterns to logos, typography to visualisations, we will explore the multitude of ways we can design with code.

Presentation Order

The order has been determined via the Wheel of Names - if you want... you can watch the draw here 😂

Please try and keep within 10 minutes and again, we don't want any stiff presentations! I just want to give every student an opportunity to share their journey - don't be afraid to have fun with it!

At the end of each presentation, we will draw a random name(via the Wheel of Names) to ask a question to the presenter. Be curious with your question - make it count! What did you find interesting? What do you want to know more about?
