Project-03-Dynamic-Drawing

As I was creating this, I didn’t really know what my end goal was going to be. I mostly let creative freedom have its way while I tried out different shapes and movements to see what I liked best. Altogether, this project was pretty tough for me, as a couple of things I wanted to do were a little too complicated (and it was all getting too jumbled and confusing), so I tried to keep it simpler, but with interesting-enough shapes. I tried to experiment more with triangles and mouseX/mouseY, which is why I focused so much on it.
