Geometric Patterns with Creative Coding: Playing with Creative Coding

ISBN-13: 9781484293881 / Angielski

Selcuk Artut

Opis

Facilitate 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.

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.
