0.0 Getting Started with GenArt: Install Processing Step-by-Step
This is a Playlist of videos aimed at anyone starting out with Generative Art using Python and Processing. (I use this in my workshops and webinars.)
The focus is on getting beginners up to speed so that they can experiment and have fun creating their own Art. So my videos tend to be "building blocks." I strive to explain the underlying concepts. Once there is a good foundation, you can easily pick up the rest.
If you are new to Python, you can check some of my Python videos. (I use Jupyter to teach basic concepts. Links below.)

Please Note: I am using Processing in the Python Mode. Javascript usage is very similar.
