Sketch 1: Repetition: The Gradient Suns
Above is the first piece for my creative coding assignment, named The Gradient Suns. With the theme of repitition in mind I created this series of vibrant gradient suns, which were made through the repitition of many rectangles. Calculations were used to figure out how create the image of a circle using rectangles, beginning with the smallest rectangles at the top and then increasing to it's peak at the middle and then finally decreasing until the bottom. The gradients used depict the various stages of the sun setting whether that be on earth or on a distant planet. To add to the ambiance of the sunset, I placed rectangles with different sizes and weights to create sunset lines. I incorporated the use of for loops to create both the shape and gradients of the sun, whilst also using functions to place the suns at multiple locations with differing gradients.
