Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions.
*NEW DATES: Tuesdays from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, October 25 to November 29, 2011
6 weeks ( 18 hours)
*$230 + Studio membership $50 – prices include taxes
See examples on the website http://www.openprocessing.org/ and look at our animated banner, taken from this site.
Through this training, Studio XX offers artists to work the basics of programming in a fun way. The relevance to know the basics of programming languages – via the open source software PROCESSING – is to give the artists the means to leverage that knowledge in any programming environment or logical practice: they will acquire the basics of algorithmic thinking and will play in creative ways.
This workshop is intended for beginners and based on a theoretical part and a mentoring part.

Workshop sequences (can depend of time available and interests of the participants):
1. Installing Processing. To “move” variables: fist shapes on screen
2. Models of control and loops (if, for, while): let’s automatically generate shapes. Complex shapes, vertices and curves: some simple mathematics
3. Color basics. Random algorithm.
4. Work with the time: the production of a continuous pattern in real time
5. Let’s move around: loops, motion and arrays
6. Interact with the mouse input and the keyboard input
7. Process of photographs in real time: image processing
*Minimum 8 participants. Price will be adjusted if this minimum is not reached.
