In recitation this week, we learned about processing basics and drew pictures using processing. We designed drawings using the processing tool and emulated famous art pieces.
Inspiration
For my inspiration piece, I looked at Vasily Kandinsky’s Blue Painting. This piece of Bauhaus art has a lot of abstract lines, ellipses, and triangles. I think the piece is very unique and interesting.
I wanted to emulate that piece, but not copy it. I liked the varied lines and shapes, so for my drawing, I also used triangles, lines, and ellipses. My piece was inspired by the Bauhaus piece in terms of shapes, but I played around with the styles of the piece. In order to achieve my goal, I used the ellipse and triangle function as my objects and changed the fill and smoothness of the shapes. I think that processing is a creative way of designing shapes and drawings, and it’s fun to draw different shapes and designs and start over quickly. However, it does take a while to figure the application out, and definitely takes practice.
