HTML: ASCII Project


Artist Statement: 

I decided to work with abstract objects and test my skills in using lines, shapes, and gradients. This project was the most difficult of the semester and I wish I had a better understanding of how code works but it's one of those things that requires patience and practice, practice, practice! Please find my code for the project below: 


<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<script>
window.onload = function() {
var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");

////////////////////////////////////// start below this line ˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇ



context.beginPath();
context.rect(0, 0, 800, 600);
var grd = context.createRadialGradient(400, 300, 300, 400, 300, 400);
grd.addColorStop(0, 'purple');
grd.addColorStop(1, 'gray');
context.fillStyle = grd;
context.lineWidth = 35;
context.fill();
context.stroke();

context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(135, 250);
context.lineTo(350, 500);
context.lineTo(650, 500);
 context.stroke();
context.fillStyle = 'pink';
    context.fill();
   
   
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(275, 400);
context.lineTo(175, 350);
context.lineTo(650, 500);
 context.stroke();
context.fillStyle = 'white';
    context.fill();


////////////////////////////////////// end above this line ˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆˆ

};

</script>
</head>
<body>
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="800" height="600"></canvas>
</body>
</html>

Animation - Stop Motion


Artist Statement:

For my project I decided to use stop motion images to create a video of myself and my puppy doing yoga! The most difficult part of this project was eliminating frames. I'm sure there may have been a quicker way to do this but in order to start my project, I had to import video frames to layers. From there I went through the frames and deleted every 3rd frame or frames that I didn't think were necessary. I ran into a big problem because I was only able to upload 500 frames at a time, so I had to do this 3 times with 3 separate parts of the original document. After going through the frames, I then exported and rendered the video. From there I was able to combine the three different media documents, add audio, clip the video, add fade in, fading out, titles, and cross-fades to my final animation. It's really amazing to see the final video! I know it's not perfect, but for my very first animation I am extremely proud of myself!
