Tutorial 2: Algorithmic Art

Having completed the Coding Basics tutorial and now you want something a little bit more challenging especially if you are interested in the very creative art side of things then this tutorial is for you. You will be touching on Particle systems and the Perlin Noise random function. These are mostly longer units but the reward is that you get to develop your coding skills and have a better idea of what you could create with p5.js.

Module A

Some interesting Algorithmic Art projects based on particles and perlin noise.
