Hello, I'm getting in to some more programming classes and would like to know if anyone has advice for me. My computer graphics class allows me to choose any language I want to start drawing shapes. However, the teacher will not teach us how to do any new languages so either we teach ourselves or use languages we already know. I know C++ but I can't program grpahical stuff in it so I need to pick a new language. I've got it down to either OpenGL or Java (pref. Java) but I'm having troubles finding code to draw shapes. (I'm basically trying to draw a brick wall or something of that effect).

Our teacher wanted us to find code online and use it for fun which we will add to later. I have no knowledge of either language and need advice as to which one is better and where I can find the code to draw shapes. I know that there's lots of stuff out there but after sifting through literally 2 hours of searching, I couldn't find anything that really made any sense to me. Any help would be great, thanks!
