E's Digital Canvas

Dear Blog,  My first assignment was to experiment with coding canvas shapes on dreamweaver (super cool and confusing program) and this was my result... Lets just call it abstract art.  context.beginPath(); //this tells dw the starting point of a shape context.moveTo(100,100); //termination of the first line context.lineTo(300,300); //creates a second line context.lineTo(500, 100); //draws the closed shape (this is all about drawing by numbers) context.closePath(); //use your color picker again here from http://bit.ly/2xoDfM0 or http://www.color-hex.com/ context.fillStyle = "rgba(500, 150, 250, 1)"; context.fill();   //use the decimal in the aplha here (0.5) context.strokeStyle = "rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)"; // the "a" stands for aplpha chanel which is the transparency of the line or object /  0 = invisible - 1 = solid color - use decimals to fade between //creates the stroke context.stroke() //creates a stroke along the a

It was definitely not the easiest thing to figure out but that made it all the more interesting and challenging to me. My determination to get the hang of it I guess was driven by my inner competitor lol..

I think it is super important to find things that make one unique and be proud of it. I like to have a balance of activities so because of this, I find interest in the arts, photography and digital art to be specific, as well as in sports (I play for the women
