Exquisite Corpse

Description

CLICK TO CREATE THE CORPSE'S TORSO! I have used the functions with parameters to allow the user to create the middle part of the body as he goes about clicking. Apart from this, I have used the bezier() function to create flowers and the face has mostly been created using the curveVertex().

Design Process

My partners in this game of Exquisite Corpse were Patricia and Rebecca and together we came up with an interseting corpse figure which was really funn for me to recreate using code. While Patricia had created a gemoteric human figure using 2D primitive shapes, Rebecca's was more abstract– it was a flower plant in a shoe. I chose Patricia's upper body because it looked like a potrait painting which i found interesting. Similarly, Rebecca's middle torso, a dense folialge of red lillies built on the abstraction further. I planted this painting on the two strong muscular feet of my own corpse, which seemed to bring some form of balance.

Reflection

This assignment was a great learning experience for me and allowed me to not only put a lot of my learnings to work but also try and seek out more interesting things to do using code. Going about this assignment, I could get a much deeper understanding of how modularity works in effect and how it can be plugged into so many things. It also makes the code so much clearer for others as well as oneself.

Credits

Katherine's Youtube tutorials for week 2 were a big help on this one for me. Sean's CC Lab helpd me clear my concepts and execute my ideas into code with confidence. The Coding Train tutorials in p5.js on YouTube are another source of my knowledge for this assignment.
