This project was a little bit tough since I had a lot of ideas and I really didn’t know which one to pick and how to actually make it happen. Some ideas were too overambitious and exceed the boundaries of my knowledge in P5. I was experimenting with lines and how variables affected them and made this discovery when I put two lines together and divided one of the lines’ X-coordinate by 2. It really reminded me of geometric 80’s art, so I picked a hot pink for the lines and a dark blue/purple for the background. The colors switch for the lines and background just to make it more interesting. I really love this and it looks like I am looking at a wave or a cylinder. It was really a great and also surprisingly simple discovery.
