background()
The `background()` function sets the color of the canvas before drawing any shapes or images. This is crucial for creating a visually appealing composition, as it establishes the overall atmosphere and context for your artwork. Imagine you're painting on a canvas; the background color is like the primer you apply before adding your designs, influencing how the colors and shapes appear.
