THE COLOUR

These are some screen shots of my experimentation of different colours I dont really like these colours because i think they are to distracting. The black background I think detract from the fan, and so does the blue background. I think I'm going to stick to black and white.

THE SHAPE

These are screen shots of , my experimentation with shapes. I want to try and develop my shape into a a more fan like shape.

I dont really like this shape because it looks like a ninja star.

I think I like this shape best because of how the fan 'wings' expand out.

I also think that this shape creates a very nice visual. I also like how the shape is sort of hypnotising  as the fans spin around.

This is my application where my sound works singularly for each fan.

The next steps I want to take is change the fan sound that is currently occurring because its not a very nice sounding fan.

I also want to try and increase the sound with the movement of the mouse, so that when the mouse is close to the fan not only will the speed of the fan increase but maybe the sound will as well .

At the moment I am working on getting my fan sound to play when I click each individual fan down.

I want each fan to have its own sound playing.

These are just a few images that I find really fascinating. I really like how the wind turbines(huge fans)

create a composition while the are generating electricity.

DEVELOPMENT

For my development I am planning to figure out how to use arrays so that instaed of have the fan follow the mouse, the user will be able to click and place a fan on the screen in different areas. I also want to make it so that the fans are still spinning when they are clicked into place.

Final Idea

Improved Idea:

Instead of designing an application that creates sound from the connection of the wings of the fans , I decided that I want to experiment with the frequency of  sound. So when the mouse goes closer to the placed wheels the sound becomes more intense and when the mouse moves away the sound slows down.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My application is made to create an interactive experience through drawing aspects. The idea is for the user to be able to create their own personal interactive piece of art. With my interactive application the user will experience a fascinating conversation with the computer as they use the mouse to create a drawing that transforms as the mouse moves across the page. As the user moves the mouse a different pattern will be produced creating a unique and interesting composition. The different aspects of each part of the application make the resulting drawing unpredictable. My application consists of several different colours that I think are exciting and will engage the user. The application also includes interaction with movement of the mouse right and left clicks all creating different connections while drawing. Also with just a click of the mouse the user is also able to clear their canvas and start their interactive drawing experience over. Over all I think that my interactive drawing application is a new way of engaging users in a way that will make their experience unique and creative.

Final Development

This is a screen shot with the fading as well.

I think I have decided to go with the white background. I also created more different interactive colours  to the application. The above three images are screen shots with out the fade to show the different colours. The three different colours produced on the bottom left corner and top right corner are produced when you click the left or right mouse.

I think that the black background helps the colours pop out, but I don't like how the fading makes a white looking mark in the background.

Third Part

This is an image showing all three parts being drawn on, I think that this is an interesting composition because of how the drawing fades. I also think that this enhances the interaction because it creates a gohstly feeling that follows the mouse.
