I’ll be real - I can tell this is going to be the class I am going to have the hardest time with. Anything related to variables and even simple math instantly generates massive anxiety for me. This is no different. Also I expected that, so it’s OK, I have wanted to give coding a try for SUCH a long time.

That said, I am having fun with it and just taking my time. There were quite a few questions I needed to go back to google/look up in the p5 reference library, but I got there and so far I understand most of it. The idea of these code exercises being a set of relationships between each other has really helped my abstract understanding of everything, and I found myself going back to that concept a lot in moments of being stuck.

Originally I come from a time-based medium background, so it was fun introducing animation into my self portrait. Keeping in mind elements having a relationship to one another, I wanted to find a set of animations that act together for a greater effect. I landed on my nose being pulled upset me.

Also apologies for the late posting - I will make sure this happens earlier from now on.

  //nose
  if(mouseX>150 && mouseX<450 && mouseY>50 && mouseY<450){
  stroke(1);
  line(300, 220, mouseX, mouseY);
  line(mouseX, mouseY, 300, 300);
  }

  }
  //mouth
  if(mouseX>150 && mouseX<450 && mouseY>50 && mouseY<450){

}
