This example renders 100 concentric circles centered on the screen, reproducing a Sol LeWitt-style wall drawing in SVG. Each circle uses a hardcoded radius increment, black stroke, and no fill, creating a bold geometric pattern. The code generates circles via `document.createElementNS` and appends them to an SVG element sized to the viewport. All geometry is specified through inline style properties, with no external libraries or data sources involved.

AI-generated description

Inspiration from Curran's live streaming

Started from scratch. Lot of research helps.

Exercise options:

Reproduce any Sol LeWitt piece.

Create generative art in the spirit of Sol LeWitt.

Add animation to what we’ve created (e.g. rotation).

Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript : Mar 29,2021 : group of circles, more circles

This visualization generates a grid of concentric circles using the SVG API, created dynamically with `document.createElementNS`. The code iterates over a 5100-by-5100 loop, placing each circle at a fixed 50-pixel interval, with a radius of 50 units, a black stroke, and no fill. The circles are appended directly to the SVG element, which is styled to fill the entire browser window. The example references Sol LeWitt’s geometric wall drawings, reproducing a systematic, repetitive pattern through vanilla JavaScript without any external libraries. The script includes commented-out alternatives for colored rectangles and masked grids, highlighting a modular approach to generative art.

Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript : Mar 27,2021 : group of circles, more circles

A grid of 10,000 unfilled black-outlined circles, each with a radius of 10 pixels, is arranged in a 100-by-100 pattern across the full browser window. The circles are rendered as SVG elements created dynamically with vanilla JavaScript, using `document.createElementNS` and setting `cx`, `cy`, `r`, `stroke`, and `fill` style properties. The code includes commented-out variations featuring random colored fills and masked rectangular grids, but the active visualization strictly displays the uniform circle grid. The piece references Sol LeWitt’s generative art style, with the rendering approach visible through direct SVG manipulation rather than any external library.

Fork of Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript : Mar 27,2021 : group of circles, more circles

This example uses vanilla JavaScript and the SVG API to generate a grid of 100 by 100 circles, each with a random stroke color and no fill. The circles are spaced every 10 pixels across the full browser window, producing a dense, colorful pattern inspired by Sol LeWitt’s geometric artworks. The code creates SVG circle elements dynamically using `createElementNS` and sets their positions and stroke colors randomly. While the title mentions "more circles," the visible output is a static, uniform grid without animation or additional layers.

Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript : Mar 27,2021 : group of circles, more circles - Animations

A grid of 10,000 circles animates in SVG, with each circle's radius pulsing between 0 and 20 pixels over a 20-second cycle while strokes display random RGB colors. The vanilla JavaScript creates circles dynamically using `document.createElementNS` and applies CSS keyframe animations to alter the `r` attribute. The piece references Sol LeWitt's generative grid aesthetics, using randomized stroke colors against unfilled shapes to produce a shifting, cellular pattern across the full browser viewport.

Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript

This example recreates a Sol LeWitt-inspired geometric composition using vanilla JavaScript and SVG. It displays a grid of vertical rectangles spanning the full window height, overlaid with a white circle at the center that masks a second layer of horizontal rectangles, creating a crosshatch pattern within the circular boundary. The code constructs SVG elements programmatically via `createElementNS` and manipulates styles for positioning and masking, using the `mask` element with a circle to clip the inner grid.

Fork of Episode 3: Sol LeWitt - circles pattern

This visualization recreates a Sol LeWitt-inspired geometric drawing using overlapping concentric circles centered on the canvas. The circles are drawn with a blue stroke and varying radii, but a mask restricts their visibility to a combination of a polygon, a circle, and a rectangle. The code builds the SVG structure dynamically using the DOM API, creating the mask and circles via JavaScript. The mask's white shapes reveal portions of the circle pattern, while the black background hides the rest, producing a fragmented, abstract composition.

Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript : Mar 27,2021 : group of circles, more circles

This visualization reproduces a Sol LeWitt art piece as a dense 100×100 grid of randomly colored 10-pixel squares, filling the entire browser window. The code uses vanilla JavaScript to create SVG elements via the DOM API, setting each rectangle’s fill to a random RGB value. Though commented-out sections hint at alternative circle-based or masked-grid variations, the active code renders only the colorful square grid, with no interaction or animation.

Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript version 2

This example renders a generative SVG composition inspired by Sol LeWitt, using vanilla JavaScript and the SVG DOM API. It displays a field of randomly colored vertical rectangles, with a white circle centered over them. A second set of randomly colored horizontal rectangles is clipped by a circular mask, creating a crosshatched disk. The code constructs all shapes dynamically, assigning random fill colors and using CSS transitions to animate the vertical rectangles' height on hover.
