ASA 2022 STEAM EXPO

PROJECT SUMMARY

I drew a dandelion using coding in CMU CS Academy. I drew basic shapes such as stars, circles and rectangles. Later, I put them together to make it look like a dandelion.

WHY?

I did this project because of computer science class and we were learning coding in the CMU Academy. The problem I wanted to solve was how to put the shapes into the right places, and it was very difficult to make it look like a dandelion, just with basic shapes.

HOW?

To get the shapes in the right places, I just tried many times until I got them located in the places I wanted to. But, some of them were easy to locate them because you have a grid to show you where you are using x and y axis.

WHAT?

I found out that it was pretty difficult to get the rectangle in the right place since you had to do a little bit of math in order to get the right x and y location. The method I chose was just trying it out until it got to its right location.

SO WHAT?

It does not look like a dandelion at first glance, but you can still find it out when you think it deeply, I hope. But, I think I can improve a lot more and make the circles look more unnatural since now, it looks all organized and it looks a bit awkward for a free dandelion.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Maybe I can add more shapes, for the shadows and take more time to do it neatly. Maybe I should also add more colors and have two dandelions instead of one.

REFERENCES & ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The website I used for this is CMU Academy, and I just thought of doing a dandelion, so I got my ideas from my head, since I know a dandelion's shape.

JUDGES FEEDBACK

Very cool dandelion! I love that you used CMU Academy to code this art. Using coding to create art combines multiple skills and requires a great deal of patience. What else could you add to this image to further enhance your work?
