Starting off with a moment of reflection:
I started this class with little to no understanding of coding in any programming language, and looking at what I am able to do now is pretty awesome!
I still require a lot of cross referencing and searching for assistance or answers, however, being able to look at a body of code and breakdown what they mean line by line is quite remarkable!
Do I understand why something isn't working? not always, but still a great start!

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...
