PART I - Form and Color
After installing the Processing software, several examples were run to get some insight about the range of applications that could be developed with the software. In addition, it served to understand the way the sketches work and what is the logic behind them.
Following, a few sketches were developed with the purpose of understanding how to size the visual working area or canvas, how to set background colors, how to read results and how to draw basic shapes such as triangles, polygons, ellipses, among others. Some experiments were done with different colors when drawing these shapes.
An example of an experiment is shown in the picture (only final result is shown). The general steps followed to develop it, were:
1. After adjusting the size of the canvas, a triangle, an ellipse and a polygon were created.
2. These shapes were first filled with gray scale colors.
3. Then, the sketch was modified. The color of the background was changed (the final background color of white is shown) and the colors of the shapes were also changed.
4. The final step, involved changing the opacity of one of the shapes (polygon).
