For this project, I chose “A II (Construction A II) by László Moholy-Nagy” I found his artwork in one of the links provided on our recitation cite. I chose this artwork because I liked how the shapes overlapped each other and the transparency changed within in each shape. I also wanted to challenge myself into re-creating this in Processing because I have never done something like this.
Here is the original piece:
Here is my creation on Processing:
I found that the hardest part for me to grasp was where exactly to graph each point and where the right place to put a certain shape was. I also found it very tedious to move a shape up, down, left, or right.
Here is my code:
Overall, I found drawing and coding in Processing really fun and I was able to realize a lot of little details in my code and drawing. It was also really cool to me that I could recreate a piece of artwork!
