The task was to: create a self-portrait. The fact that I have spent my break actually painting a self-portrait is just funny because, in comparison to that, this small animated version of me is as good as it gets with my skills at processing. I used basic shapes and then a text that changes when you click it just to add some element of interactivity to the portrait. I also added an easel and a pallet at the right because it felt like there had to be something “about me” rather than just an animated version of me.
This was the full version of what I made at the end.

An artist I felt particularly inspired by while researching is https://www.sergioalbiac.com, as he uses code to make art.
