DO: Our ability to see patterns is what makes us human. However we also see patterns where none exist because our brains are biased towards detecting certain kinds of patterns over others (e.g. faces). Create a pattern by making something with a lot of repetition. Is the resulting pattern easy to see or hard to see? What would it mean to create the illusion of pattern? Can you predict what the pattern will be when you run your code or does it surprise you? You could take something you've already done where there was a lot of repetition in the code (e.g. your self-portrait) and see if you can re-write it using a loop so that instead of 28 lines of code that call rect(), you have 1 line of code calls rect() inside of a loop that goes around 28 times. How do you need to rework the way you position that rect() in order to make it work in a loop? Try creating an algorithmic design with simple parameters. (One example is 10PRINT, example code).

Creative project with Loop! I would have liked to have this Manhattan citiy view looking from Brooklyn. Looking at the series of buildings on the riverline and the different window figures on each building, I thought it would be a great practice for me to get familiar with loop.

Process

Inspiration

Foundation

1. Basic lines setup by simplifiying the building shapes

1. I wanted use the learning from grid creation as much as possible. So I have setup a base background like the combination of pixels.

1. Drew guidelines one vertical line for the centerX variable that worked as the criteria line when I setup each building’s location. Also I drew two horizontal lines one for skyline and another for riverline.

1. Drawing each building on the canvas.

1. Coloring time

These are five color palatte that I identified in Visual Language class.
