Animated Art

The same way an artist uses pencil, paint, or clay to express themselves, computer programming also allows artists to create visual, auditory & interactive artwork with seemingly endless possibilities! For this competition, Code/Artists must create an animated art piece that is composed or constructed by their computer program and feature patterns, shapes, characters, landscapes, etc. with movement that starts automatically or when the play button is clicked.
