PROCESSING : creation with an intuitive programming environment

Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions.

*NEW DATES : Tuesdays from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, October 25 to November 29, 2011

6 weeks ( 18 hours)
*$230 + Studio membership $50 - prices include taxes.

See examples on the website http://www.openprocessing.org/ and look at our animated banner, taken from this site.

Through this training, Studio XX offers artists to work the basics of programming in a fun way. The relevance to know the basics of programming languages - via the open source software PROCESSING - is to give the artists the means to leverage that knowledge in any programming environment or logical practice : they will acquire the basics of algorithmic thinking and will play in creative ways.

This workshop is intended for beginners and based on a theoretical part and a mentoring part.

Workshop sequences : (can depend of time available and interests of the participants)

1. Installing Processing. To “move” variables : fist shapes on screen

2. Models of control and loops (if, for, while): let’s automatically generate shapes. Complex shapes, vertices and curves : some simple mathematics

3. Color basics. Random algorithm.

4. Work with the time : the production of a continuous pattern in real time

5. Let’s move around : loops, motion and arrays

6. Interact with the mouse input and the keyboard input

7. Process of photographs in real time: image processing

*Minimum 8 participants. Price will be adjusted if this minimum is not reached.
