Foreword:
For this project, we had to create a piece of computer art. Mine is a symmetrical design that starts as a circle in the middle of the canvas and grows to create a design surrounded by ellipses and other graphics. It is an animation, so it is worth checking out how the designs build up. I was not sure about which final design I liked better, so I will post both projects with their respective code. Let me know which one do you like better!
Problems/curiosities:
Depending on the strokeWeight you use, you can see how the animation starts building up until you can see all the shapes. Also, it is really interesting to work with the frameCount by multiplying it to see how it affects the repetition of the designs.
