Assignments should be submitted as a zip file. All Processing files will need to be saved and zipped up. We will review this in class.
A1a.
Before the end of Mar 04:
- Write out a conceptual painting. Following in the tradition of conceptual artists like Sol Lewitt write a recipe or instruction based artwork in natural language, develop a set of instructions for a dynamic abstract painting. Review Sol LeWitt's retrospective at MASSMoca (you can click on the thumbnails to see the instructionals), as well as Casey Reas' exploration of his work in Software Structures. Keep in mind that you will be passing this recipe on to a fellow classmate who will turn the instructions into Processing code.... The assignment will be graded based on its formulaic presentation in relationship to the code environment and algorithmic structures. Label file A1a_lastname_firstname.filetype; due before midnight on Mar 04.
A1b.
Due before class on Mar 31 ::::A1::::
Using object oriented programming and functions, implement the instructional/ conceptual painting written by a fellow student in Processing. Consider the elements of the recipe/ instructional you received. Can they be translated into variables, and methods, inside of classes that you create? Simplifying where necessary, implement the recipe using the Processing coding environment using all of the main programming concepts introduced to date, including at least one class. Please include the original "software structure," or instruction, in code at the top of your main file and the artist's name. Label A1_lastname_firstname.zip and email.
A2.
Due by the end of the day on April 28 (new date!) ::::A2::::
You will receive a conceptual painting made in Processing from a fellow student. For this assignment, you will use this code to create a textured sound environment using Arduino. Use motors, piezos and other elements to create an emergent, textured and mechanical soundscape based on events occurring in the conceptual drawing. Due by the end of the day on April 30 (DATE CHANGED AGAIN!). Zip up ALL CODE and a VIDEO of your mechanical sound environment and label A2_lastname_firstname.zip....
