Is this summer project doable? (Arduino)

Hello people of LTT. I'm looking to start a small project over the summer that involves an Arduino board.

 

The project is simple: To make an array of LEDs oscillate and "breathe" (Err a lightshow-capable LED set up) possibly a 5ft long LED array.

 

Would this be feasible for me? I have no Arduino experience. I really dunno where to start besides purchasing one.

 

But I have basic coding in C (The most advanced thing I've coded would be data stacks and binary trees). I've also written programs/games for an old Motorolla HC11 microcontroller.

 

Edit: This is what I want the project to produce

 

The thing is that the end product would be something like this:

Something that I have control of the timing in which a certain LED array would be on or off. Possibly even PWM control so I can gradually make the LEDs "breathe". I think I mistyped what I wanted.

 

It's not a 5ft LED array (I would just buy an LED Strip for that) but rather different LEDs (possibly 5ft long in total) being controlled by code via the arduino.

the array of led's will be individually wired right? an LED strip wouldn't work
