Today we will learn how to:
🎨 Draw rectangles on canvas
🎨 Draw images on canvas
🎨 Convert rectangles into particles
🎨 Convert images into particle systems
🎨 Add physics, animated transitions and mouse interactivity
All of that with no frameworks and no libraries using just vanilla JavaScript, HTML5 canvas element and object oriented programming. I will explain every line of code step by step as we build our interactive animated project. Let's make art with code and learn JavaScript and front end web development in the process.
Project images: (try the final effect with different images, some look better with colours, sketch versions look great on a black background)

![HTML5 Canvas Tutorial for Beginners [How to Draw Shapes with JavaScript]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ymmtEgp0Tuc/mqdefault.jpg "HTML5 Canvas Tutorial for Beginners [How to Draw Shapes with JavaScript]
Lets learn how to draw shapes with JavaScript and create fabulous Fibonacci flowers all from scratch with just plain vanilla JavaScript. In this HTML5 Canvas Tutorial for Beginners we will take a look under the hood to see how canvas 2D API draws shapes and then we use that knowledge to create colorful flowers and seashells using so called Fibonnacci flower formula, also known as Phyllotaxis and Golden ratio. This video will be very beginner friendly, you will be surprised how much you can do with so little JavaScript.

This HTML5 Canvas Tutorial for Beginners will be focused on the HTML canvas element and its fundamentals. We will look into how it works under the hood and where are all these methods that allow us to draw shapes come from and we will learn how to draw shapes with JavaScript
Fibonacci sequence starts specifically with 0 and 1 and it is a very common interview question where you will asked to write an algorithm that returns numbers that create fibonacci sequence.
To draw so called fibonacci flowers we dont necessarily have to start with 0 and 1, we can also start with any two numbers we want, the only rule we cannot break is that each number in the sequence is the sum of the two preceding numbers
