## What it is
A workshop repository of code, exercises, and resources for learning creative coding and generative art with JavaScript, built around the canvas-sketch CLI, HTML5 Canvas, and ThreeJS/WebGL. It accompanies Matt DesLauriers' Frontend Masters / Master.dev course on Canvas and WebGL creative coding.

## Use cases
- learn generative art with javascript
- creative coding tutorial for canvas and webgl
- get started with canvas-sketch cli
- learn threejs for 3d graphics on the web
- exercises for making art with code
- learn custom shaders in glsl
- print art with html5 canvas

## When to choose
- you want a structured, hands-on introduction to generative art in JavaScript
- you are following the Canvas & WebGL course and need the companion code and setup guide
- you want curated links to creative-coding libraries and a cheat sheet

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained production library rather than educational material
- you want a general JavaScript or web development course unrelated to graphics
- you need a license permitting reuse of the code in your own projects

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: graphics, developer-tools
- domain: tutorials, graphics, web-development, education
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: generative-art, creative-coding, canvas, webgl, threejs, workshop-materials, glsl, nodejs
