Introduction

Forewords

Welcome to this class!

We will only assume some very basic knowledge of javascript and will teach you how to create amazing artworks and animations through code and maths.

We will be using a javascript library called p5 that allows us to do drawing easily. It is designed to be very beginner friendly, and is also quite powerful.

Installation

I have an amazing template ready for you and I would highly recommend you use it:

Download

Download the template and check out the ReadMe to install everything!

(NB: I also have a template for using shaders inside p5 ; we might talk about this later)

Documentation

p5 has a wonderful website with tons of examples and a really nice documentation ; check it out whenever you are looking for something! https://p5js.org/reference

Give me feedback

I tried my best to deliver the best learning experience possible. I am still a novice teacher though (and even if I were experienced, one never runs out of things to learn anyways). So your feedback is more than welcome and I will happily improve my classes with your help!

To do so, feel free to reach out to me directly or raise an issue on GitHub.
