 We'll review in two parts: general JavaScript and then p5js. You should also review how to put your work on the wiki and make sure you've added all of your work there. That lets you share it with your teachers and classmates, and eventually with the public, too! We'll review in two parts: general JavaScript and then p5js.

 +  - draw an animal, plant, or a complicated shape from your imagination
 +  - there should be many different versions of it, like different sizes and different colors
 +  - make a class to draw it
 +  - use buildArray to fill an array of objects from your class; try to make 100 or more!
 +  - use filter to change your drawing in some way
  
 +Can you make some progress with this and add it to your wiki page? Be sure to add your other drawings, too. Ask the teachers for help if you need it. They'd be happy to help!
