Make Interactive Art with Code
Create interactive artworks using coding with Javascript
Coding is such a creative subject! With a bit of code (and a little maths!) you can bend shapes and colours and get them to interact with your mouse movements. Learn how to control your shapes and then use your imagination to craft your art work.

Overview
This activity is suitable for kids aged 10+ or adults with some experience of coding with any text-based language (e.g. Python or Javascript). Some of the coding concepts may be complex, but sample code is provided which will allow less experienced students to experiment with just minimal code changes.
It will take approximately 2 hours to complete the activity. On completion there are additional activities for the more curious students.
No special equipment is needed - just your computer with internet access.
In this activity...
- We will write code to create some art that you can interact with using your mouse
- We will use a language called Javascript, which is a professional programming language used for creating web applications
- We will use P5, which is a Javascript library that is used by creative coders and artists
- There will be a bit of maths too!
Here's an example of the sort of thing we will create:
