004: Design Your Own Homework, Kid.


a. Criteria

Take your favorite photoshop brush and make it even better in openFrameworks. By using openFrameworks, add a bit of "life" to your 'painting.' Below is my example.

In this example, my small gesture morphs into multiple srtokes that each has its own path. You can clear the original gesture and just get the animated result. You can also create multiple gestures (pointRecorders). Below was the first stab: one small gesture transformed into something completely different. In the code, you can comment out the Bezier Curve and watch this a vertex point. You can see the transformation a bit better.

think about how flexible or limited photoshop brushes have

recreate or improve the brush in oF




b. Advanced option: Using openCv, compose/perform 1-2 compositions not using key or mouse functions but using live video input to control this brush. Below is my example.

Class Details

Co-taught by Zachary Lieberman + Taeyoon Choi

This class investigates the curious space where drawing and computation meet. From the earliest moments of the computer, developers have been striving for intuitive and meaningful ways to capture and explore gesture digitally. Likewise artists - From Durer's drawing machine, to Sol Lewitt's infinite cubes and Moholy Nagy's imaginary structures -- have used computational method to transfer reality on to the paper and generatively reproduce elements of their drawing.
