After researching online, I chose the art from sol lewitt design:
It only contains black and white color, and straight lines, looks simple for the first try of Processing. But what’s more, the design is very attractive. It only contains two colors and lines, but the networked shape looks beautiful. (simple elements always become complex when networked together after all.)
Therefore my design is to create different pattern using the same idea of design, so:
We use the same design with different patterns. The difference is that the points in my design are generated randomly in terms of location, so we can create different patterns whenever we re-run the program.
The code is amazingly simple:
Then I compared my work and the original, find I have less points then it. So I make the number of points to be random as well:
Now we have random number of points!
I think it is a good tool to produce artwork in processing, as it offers detailed control to our graph, and can avoid repetitive work by coding. What’s more, we don’t need hand on art skills such as drawing to produce artwork. However, I think a good improvement of the software is to enable drawing and toggling the patterns around as well, (perhaps digitalize the operation in backstage), so that it will be easier to use and more expressful.
