Geometric Patterns with Creative Coding: Coding for the Arts

AFacilitate coding in generating geometric motives with a special focus on analyzing their geometric formulations. This book aims to teach analytical coding skills by combining arts and mathematics.

  Geometric patterns are quintessentially important for understanding today’s media arts and their relationship with mathematics. With the main emphasis on this, author Selçuk Artut proposes a certain workflow to mathematically analyze a geometric pattern and use creative coding skills to render it on a computer screen.

  When done, you'll understand the basics of coding and expand the provided structure to cover issues of creative coding in particular. This book will also present a workflow to geometrically analyze and build patterns with detailed examples.

  For the sake of simplicity and convenience, we will use p5.js throughout the course of the book. p5.js is a jvascript library for creative coding that places an emphasis on making coding accessible and inclusive for people from all walks of life, including artists, designers, educators, programmers, etc. With this in mind, this book offers an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of geometric patterns and their possibilities through the use of p5.js.

  What You Will Learn:

 Gain insight into the field of geometric patterns and its cultural value

 Review dialectic creativity that takes place between humans and computers

 Use code as a creative tool to use human-computer interaction to develop one's creative skills

  Who This Book Is For:

 Any person who has an interest in using coding as a creative tool. University students from Arts, Design, Architecture, and Computer Science departments. Artists and designers who are eager to implement creative coding in their artistic production
