Generative art refers to art that is created by a system that operates autonomously. The artist may create the system, and/or set some parameters that affect the outcome, but the result is created, at least in part, by the system rather than directly by the artist. Generative art systems are frequently computer programs, although biological, social, or other systems may also be used to generate art.

In this workshop, you will use Scratch and TurtleArt to explore generative art and music. These two platforms are readily accessible to people ages 8 and up, having a wide range of interests and learning styles, and with or without a background in programming. We'll look at some sample projects and then you will have an opportunity to develop and share your own generative art creations. We'll also briefly note additional software platforms that are useful for generative art projects, and address how generative AI may interact with generative art.

The workshop will be recorded. Everyone who registers will have access to the recording for later review. If you are
interested in the topic, but can't attend the live Zoom session, you can register anyway and view the recording at a time that's good for you.
