About this Event
This is a 6-hour intermediate-level workshop structured in two 3-hour sessions: February 27th and March 5th.
We will use the p5.js creative coding library for the web: https://p5js.org/
Participants will learn how to use browser-based input elements such as text input, number input, range selector, color picker, etc., to introduce parametric principles in their p5.js sketches.
The workshop will explore how we can design and develop interface elements through HTML, CSS, and Javascript that can manipulate variables within the participants' sketches in real time. The workshop dedicates a 3-hour session to project assistance and feedback.
The workshop activities will be held in person and in Portuguese language
