Creative coding is a way of using computer programming to make art and designs. With creative coding, you can create anything from simple drawings to complex animations and interactive art pieces. You can experiment with different colors, shapes, and sounds to create something unique and interesting. Creative coding is a great way to use your imagination and bring your ideas to life. Students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Black Families Technology Awareness Day learned about creative coding by making coded Valentine’s Day cards for Art Technically’s Love Letters project.
If you’re interested in creative coding, you can check out our Creative Coding workbook. You can also attend coding workshops or enroll in a coding class. You can even request a creative coding workshop for your school or class by emailing team@arttechnically.org! These cards were created at the Creative Coding workshop held for RPI’s Black Families Technology Awareness Day on February 4th, 2023.
