Concept
For my art project, I initially aimed to create dynamic helix structures using sine and cosine functions combined with loops. I wanted something dynamic and wavy like in the image below I saw from the Computer Graphics and Art resource document;
However, achieving a realistic 3D effect proved challenging. Despite this, my efforts were not wasted—they laid the foundation for my new project: Color Waves. Throughout the process, I discovered my passion for interactive art, balancing control with an element of randomness in the colors.
Code Highlight
I’m particularly proud of how I successfully integrated sine curves and loops to create a smooth, gradual increase in the size of both circles and squares.
for (let x = initial_x + offsetX; x < width; x += spacing) {
for (let y = initial_x + offsetY; y < height; y += spacing) {
let size = sin(frameCount * 0.05 + (x + y) * 0.01) * 15 + 30;
Reflection & Future Improvements
Although I didn’t fully achieve my original vision of a helix, I notably improved from my previous project as far as interactivity is concerned. I also gained valuable insights throughout the creative process. This experience has deepened my interest in digital art, and I’m excited to explore and master 3D figures and objects in future projects.
