Generative Art in Python
13 – 18 years old
Duration:
6 – 16 hours
Python is used for GCE O and A Levels Computing, and this course provides an opportunity for students to master the language in a fun and applied manner.
We can customise this course. For beginner coders, the students will build projects that focus of foundational CS concepts of variables and loops. For intermediate coders, the projects will expose students to more math, algorithms, and functions.
What you’ll learn
Outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
– generate geometric shapes, repeating patterns and complex shapes on a digital canvas
– use computing concepts such as variables, loops, random number generator, functions
– create animation
– create interactive art that captures and responds to user interaction
– use transformation: translation, scaling and rotation
Learn for Life
– Creative/inventive thinking
Course Outline
Module 1 (8-10 hrs):
– code geometric shapes with Processing.py
– use variables and loops to generate multiple shapes
– turn drawings into animation
Module 2 (8-10 hrs):
– capture user interaction
– use transformation: translation, scaling and rotation
