Triangle Geometric inspired by the Old Art Studio

-

 


This work is a bit different, drawing inspiration from a commercial artist going by the name "the Old Art Studio."  The specific work was "Modern Geometric 34."  Credit to Nathan Shaughnessy.

triangles.m - This file makes the initial line separating the top half and bottom half then fills in with triangles and trapezoids in a randomized manner similar to the original work.  The specific shapes change each time the code is run, changing the specific positions and angles but still resulting in the same general shape and layout.  Colors are randomly assigned as well.

Inspired By Andy Goldsworthy

One of the most creative responses I received in the Fall of 2021 was not anything that I expected.  The student was inspired by the works of Andy Goldsworthy who arranges natural materials in vey artistic ways.  Rocks, leaves, sticks become so much more when arranged in un-natural but natural ways.  The student modified some fractal code to make interesting patterns in MATLAB that give similar impressions to the work of Goldsworthy. fractal_a.m fractal_b.m fractal_c.m

What is the Open Source Art Project?

-
The Open Source Art Project (OSAP) works to promote the use of computers to generate art. The art presented here produced is free to use in any way, even commercially.  The computer code presented here is free to use and modify.  Some restrictions apply, see below. To contribute, I would ask that you supply working code under a GPL license, along with an example of the resulting image licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution license.  My source code submissions are mostly  Matlab code.  I have tested some using the open source Matlab emulator Octave  and some even run in the online version of Octave.   Other possible source code types include Python, C, C++, Java, or similar.  PowerPoint / document files include instructions for making the computer perform actions, so they probably should be treated as source code. Art licensed under a Creative Commons license is great for public use and even modification.  However, without th...

Inspired by Piet Mondrian

Piet Mondrian has always inspired me.  I like the simple geometric forms and nice simple primary colors.  I always thought it should be something that someone could create, but I realized my mistake after my initial attempts with paint and canvas.  mondrian_basic.m - Is a simple file that makes a single image, shown above. mondrian_intermediate - The process of drawing the image is put into a function and example code for making a random image in the style is provided ranges on various parameters. mondrian.mat - The source data for three random images shown below.
