Description
Objective:
Familiarize yourself with the Processing environment, write and submit your first
program.
Tasks:
1. Start Processing. Experiment with some of the examples shown in class and read
tutorials.
2. Design and create your own sketch using Processing. Think of yourself as a
creative designer when choosing the topic of your design. This is your very first
sketch, so here are some guidelines:
• Make sure that it is at least 500 pixels by 500 pixels.
• Make use of any of the drawing primitives learned in class in the past week:
size, no/smooth, stroke, fill, point, line, rect, triangle, ellipse, quad,
begin/endShape, arc, curve, etc.
• Your sketch should make use of at least five basic shape functions (as this is
the point of this assignment!). A really “abstract” sketch like a simple circle in
the center of the screen will not suffice (as asthetic as it may seem).
• Make sure to have your signature on your drawing. Design your own
signature by using text() function.
To give you some ideas, several sketches will be presented in class. Here are
some additional ideas:
• A self-portrait
• An avatar or a cartoon of someone
• Your favorite cartoon TV Show character (e.e. South Park), or design your
own…
• A city scape
• Animal/object caricatures/study
• A Post Card Design
• A fabric pattern
• Stylize your name’s initials…or a logo
3. Make sure to follow the Code Formatting Standards in your implementation.
Especially remember to add a comment to the beginning of your program
containing your name, the name of the course, and the title of the assignment:
/** John Smith */
/** CSC220-02 */
/** Lab 1 */

4. Save your program on the H drive and/or on a memory stick. Create a CSC220
folder with subfolders for every assignment.
5. Zip your folder and upload it to Canvas.
Note:
Try to do most of your work in class. Make sure you show me your progress at least
once.
If you’re not done before the end of the class, you have until the deadline to finish and
upload your work to Canvas. No extensions.
