This block of ICM covered sound and creating sound computationally.

I do not have much music training, and only understand a little bit of the physical properties of sound. So this assignment was rather challenging to approach not knowing what to do and how to even begin the approach it. Even though we discussed a lot in class.

The simplest way for me to start was to start somewhere familiar and play with rhythm then add reverb to create something interesting.

Can we make Van Gogh's Starry Night come to life and twinkle?
Shouldn't be too challenging, considering the color palette consists of mostly blues and yellows, right?

This week's worksheet required us to manipulate the New York Times homepage and make some local updates to understand the HTML and CSS structures and components.

And as you can see, I had some fun celebrating the late centenarian sprinter, Julia Hawkins.

An attempt to breakdown and explain my code for how I got my nose (to follow the mouse).

This sketch is from our improved self portraits where we were tasked to incorporate some mouse interaction. The nose portion had been a bit of a struggle to start, but eventually was able to make it work.

​Here is what I did...

This week we were tasked with simplifying our draw() function with simple lines of other functions. Function-ception?

I gotta say, naming the functions were quite fun. I did find the logical aspect of it frustrating. In my head, what I think is obviously simple turns out to be more complicated than I expected. At this point in time, I'm just following the path of least resistance.
