The workshop will deal with basic algorithmic concepts, such as iteration, recursion or color interpolation, to build generative systems. The focused lies on producing illustrative content such as animals, plants and landscapes in combination with texturing from photographic imagery, which we will take on venue during the workshop.

We will learn techniques to work with shapes, colors and textures to create parameterized illustrations in p5.js, a JavaScript library for creative coding.

Participants will need a smartphone for taking photos, as well as a notebook running p5.js. Basic prior knowledge of programming (processing, p5.js, Javascript or similar) is required.
