Code Art Basics oleh Zoe Codewell

Code Art Basics explores the fascinating intersection of art and programming, revealing how generative art is created using JavaScript and coding libraries. This book bridges the gap between artistic vision and computational execution, empowering readers to create dynamic patterns and animations.

Did you know that generative art traces its roots back to mid-20th century cybernetics? Or that relatively simple code can produce complex and beautiful visuals?

The book begins with the fundamentals of JavaScript and canvas manipulation, progresses through pattern generation techniques like tiling and recursion, and culminates in animation principles.

Throughout the book, code examples and visual demonstrations bring these concepts to life, drawing inspiration from p5.js and Processing. This practical, hands-on approach makes the process accessible, allowing readers to quickly start experimenting with algorithmic art and creative coding.
