Code Art

Code Art is a way to make visual designs using computer code, where designers write simple instructions that create shapes, colors, and movement on a screen. In Creative Coding, designers use easy-to-learn programming languages to build patterns, animations, and interactive graphics. Many designers use ready-made blocks of code, called libraries, to help them make complex visuals quickly. Code Art can be saved in different formats, like images, videos, or even live websites, so it can be shared and displayed in many places. Some designers use random numbers in their code to make each artwork unique every time it runs, which is called generative design.
