Class 4 Demonstrations

Here are the Demonstrations for our last class. This is a mix of artistic styles.
Go through them and find a few that appeal to you. Write down the parameter settings and the demonstration. I would like to look at them in class. You can also snap a photo by doing a screen shot if you know how to do it. Use Snip it on a PC or command-shift-4 on a Mac.

Click on the links below and download the demonstrations to your computer.

1. Abstract Art
