=== Session 06 - Fri 29th May ===


==== SESSION SECTIONS ====

----

<note warning>**STUDENT PRESENTATION - WHAT 3 WORDS**

----

students share their response to the brief last week 

(25 mins)


</note>


----

<note tip >**EXERCISE - DRAWING SHAPES**
----

//is this possible?//

listen to my instructions

interpret them

place shapes in a composition

change the colour  / line thickness

calming music

take a screen shot and post on chat

is this algorithmic art?


</note>
----

<note important >**DEMONSTRATION - WAVE GENERATORS**
----

how to plug in

eg - video mixer, colouriser

modes - sine wave, sawtooth

hertz - 1 per second

phase - 2 x  movies, 2 x  video projectors 50%

reset / once - 2 x  movies, 2 x  video projectors 50%

----

<note tip >**EXERCISE - SHAPE DISCO**

----

1. create a simple patch with SHAPE > PROJECTOR

2. copy and paste to create 5 patches in total

3. give each SHAPE a different different style (colours, lines, facets, rotation)

4. attach a wave generator to each 'patch' - attach to a SHAPE input, or a PROJECTOR input

5. choose a different WAVE FORM and FREQUENCY for each WAVE GENERATOR 



Ingredients:

5 x shapes

5 x projector

5 x wave generator

<note tip >**EXERCISE - SCALING**
----

Scale these 10 scenes to fit their output targets (eg -  overlay the red and the blue thing)

<note warning >**ASSIGNMENT - SCREEN SAVER**
----

using only only the following actors (MO MEDIA) create an infinite / generative animation

- SHAPES

- TEXT DRAW / TEXT/URE

- VIDEO FX

- WAVE GENERATORS

- LIMIT SCALE VALUE

- ALPHA MASK / VIDEO MIXER / EFFECT MIXER

- SCENE JUMPERS
