Chapter 8: Part 1
LED It Glow
Icebreaker: Would you rather be able to Teleport or the ability to fly?

Key Vocabulary:
Digital Art and Design: Digital art and design bring technology into the process of creating art and designs, from editing photos to using code to lighting a scene in an animated movie.
Generative Art: Generative art is an art that has been made, at least partly, using computers. If you wanted to code a character's hair in animation, for example, you could either code every single hair or use code to duplicate the hairs realistically and save yourself some time. The animators who created Princess Merida in the Pixar Movie Brave used generative art to give her a full head of hair that moves and behaves the way curly hair does in real life without having to animate every individual strand.
LED: An LED, or light-emitting diode, is a small light that can be included in an electrical circuit.
Read and Reflect:
You may answer these questions in the comment section below:
1. On page 120, the book compares coding to other tools for creation, like paint or clay. Do you agree with this comparison? Why or why not?
2. Who were the creators of the LED it Glow project? What motivated them to create this project?
3. How did the creators show sisterhood? Did this give each person a chance to be brave? Why or why not?
