I’m back this Fall teaching at Cooper Union and Index! Registration for both courses just opened and here’s the descriptions and links if you are interested in taking a class with me!
Generative Typography at Cooper Union
If typography is the study of using forms to communicate meaning, then can code help us discover new forms? If we apply generative techniques to the field of graphic design can we end up creating typography systems that are novel and always changing?
Over the course of 4 weeks we will explore these themes using Javascript and the creative coding library p5.js. Students will use code to create interactive and novel typographics experiences and will have the opportunity to work alongside their peers in a workshop style class. By the end of the course, students will be familiar with creating compositions using code and creative typography tools of their own making.
Painting with p5.js at Index Space
Painting with p5.js teaches the fundamentals of Javascript and the creative coding library p5.js. In 3 hands-on sessions, you will paint and sketch while exploring the expressive capabilities of working with code. You will look at historical pieces of creative software and examine how they enable expression that can only be achieved on a digital canvas. By the end of the workshop, you will leave with new coding skills and a creative tool of your own making.
