Sydney Salamy: Project-04-String-Art

My process started with trying to figure out how to get the strings to “curve” (or have the illusion to curve). After drawing a bunch of hatch marks didn’t work, I studied the photos on the blog of the 7th grade teacher until I understood the pattern. After a bit of experimentation, I was able to get the formula for my for loop. Then I just kept modifying it and adding colors till I was satisfied.

    var lx = 20;//width divided by 20
    var ly = 15;//height divided by 20

function setup(){
    createCanvas(400,300);	
    
}

function draw() {
    background(255, 150, 213);

    //red heart
    fill("red");
    noStroke();
    ellipse(width/2 - 23, height/2, 50,50);//left heart bulb
    ellipse(width/2 + 23, height/2, 50,50);//right heart bulb
    triangle((width / 2) - 55,height / 2 + 10, width / 2,(height / 2) 
        + 60, (width / 2) + 55,height / 2 + 10);//base of heart
    
    //makes curve on top right
    for(var i = 0; i < lx; i += 1){//sets up increment and # of elements
        stroke(247, 25, 25);
        line(width - lx * i,0, width,height - ly * i);//draws lines
    }
    //makes curve on top left
    for(var j = 0; j < lx; j += 1){//sets up increment and # of elements
        stroke(250, 90, 96);
        line(0 + lx * j,0, 0,height - ly * j);//draws lines
    }
    //makes curve on bottom left
     for(var t = 0; t < lx; t += 1){//sets up increment and # of elements
        stroke(255, 150, 175);
        line(width - lx * t,height, 0,height - ly * t);//draws lines
    }
    //makes second curve on bottom right
     for(var z = 0; z < lx; z += 1){//sets up increment and # of elements
        stroke(255, 201, 201);
        line(height - lx * z,height, 0,height - ly * z);//draws lines
    }
    //makes second curve on top right
     for(var z = 0; z < lx; z += 1){//sets up increment and # of elements
        stroke(255, 201, 201);
        line(height - lx * z,0, width,height - ly * z);//draws lines
    }
