Guidelines

A big part of learning at ITP is learning from each other. So share your work and in exchange you'll get to see everyone else's!

  1. Do the assignment.
  2. Contribute a question.
  3. Use the homework to post documentation in the form of a blog post. Ideally something visual, some written thoughts, and code. If you are struggling with your sketch and can't get things to work, you should feel free to put your energy into writing about what didn't work (and vent any frustrations!).

Mimi O's in-class examples

I save all of my in-class p5js examples in the web editor. You can see a full list here. It also contains other examples that relate to each week's assignment and that you can consult for additional support if you like.

How to turn in your homework assignments

Assignments are due the night before class each week. I will not give credit for assignments that are turned in late. Keeping in mind that I want you to succeed, and that the material can sometimes be challenging, I absolutely prefer tentative work to work that is turned in late.

Use this form to turn in your homework assignments.

The spreadsheet with everyone's responses is here.

Support

If you find yourself struggling, remember that you have many forms of support that you can take advantage of at ITP. Sign up for the ITP ICM Google Group, look out for the office hours and help sessions that the residents offer. You can find my office hours here and my email is cgo221@nyu.edu.

Week 1

Set-up

Resources

Assignment

  • Create your own screen drawing: self-portrait, alien, monster, etc. Use 2D primitive shapes – arc(), curve(), ellipse(), line(), point(), quad(), rect(), triangle() – and basic color functions – background(), colorMode(), fill(), noFill(), noStroke(), stroke(). Remember to use createCanvas() to specify the dimensions of your window and wrap all of your code inside a setup() function. Here are some sample examples: Zoog, Mondrian
  • Write a blog post about how computation applies to your interests. This could be a subject you've studied, a job you've worked, a personal hobby, or a cause you care about. What projects do you imagine making this term? What projects do you love? (Review and contribute to the ICM Inspiration Wiki page). In the same post, document the process of creating your sketch. What pitfalls did you run into? What could you not figure out how to do? How was the experience of using the web editor? Did you post any issues to github?
