Art Maker WIP - p5.js generative art

I'm showing off a work-in-process art maker in p5.js. I talk about how to preload many images, using a clipping mask to put a pattern inside a circle, using a floodfill algorithm to fill in irregular shapes, producing small test images that can then be expanded to a larger final version, and how I plan to use principles of art composition to improve on this work. generative art creative coding.

Just a couple of days ago, I came across a piece I made at a local art studio last December by tracing partial outlines of holiday shapes (like stars, bells, and Christmas trees; they had cutout shapes) and coloring the intersecting areas. I was contemplating writing a program to create similar art, so this is timely! I look forward to seeing what composition heuristics you come up with.

[@StevesMakerspace]

Cool. Then you should watch those recommended videos since they had more complex mask shapes.

hi Steve, hope you doing well. I got question. is that possible to do whole collecton just with Processing?
also sounds? like processing.sound or I need python? or totally different thing?

[@StevesMakerspace]

Processing is similar, so you can probably convert the code. Python is quite different. Not sure what you mean about sound.

[@user-ob9zo9cr4c]

@@StevesMakerspace thx, check processing.sound, u can put in sounds and create also auto generate but sounds. more nishe topic.

[@StevesMakerspace]

I see, generative music. I've listened to generative music and it seems pretty bad mostly.

If your masks were saved as .png would it eliminate your fill problem because jpg has noise?

[@StevesMakerspace]

Maybe. I'll try that, thanks.
