Learn JavaScript while making algorithmic artwork!
During class, we'll generate SVGs using JavaScript and the library p5js! You'll get the chance to explore different functions, like random and noise to create fun and surprising outputs. Afterward, you'll have learned the basics of using a pen plotter and will take home a small plotted piece of art that you design!
Able to use a web browser and type confidently. No coding experience required!
Your own laptop and charger.
