Today we looked at different ways to make art using a computer. there are many ways and these site just helped us think outside the box to create images or backgrounds we could use in our animation.
First we looked at the sand art, it was great to here the students discuss ways to make it better. the other day when I tried it I managed to change from a rainbow of colours to just black and couldn't figure out how to change it and was too scared to try anything. But, my boys just tapped and talked and shared their wow as they went. Of course the colour circle in the top right would change the colour. It takes you to a colour palette and you can pick a specific colour or the target circles in the left corner (of this page) give you a selection it will randomly choose from.
This top one is using the random circle of colours and then a blue top.
I am sure you can image the black mountains of night, turning into just black.
The second one is using colours I selected for different areas, attempting to make a lot of mountains on the left and a valley leading to the sea on the right, in the evening with the sun setting.
This one was interesting as you could change the number of symmetrical points from 2 to 12. You could also alter the size from smaller to larger.
What we did notice is if you left the marker in one place too long the colour turn to white. This also occurred if you returned with a second colour (if you were trying to add layers.
I can see many applications for this, if you use remove.bg then the image could be add easily to a drawing and the layers i mentioned earlier achieved by putting a red one over top. Then download as a png and insert it into your presentation.
This style is like painting with ink pen that doesn't like working, but a lot of fun. It starts out with black and every single click changes the colour randomly. I even tried to see how many colours their were but they just keep changing the hue and I started to run out of room.
Double click starts a new image. So have fun.
We ended the session using Quick Draw, you have 20 seconds to draw the object they suggest and the computer /AI has to guess what you have drawn. Not always as easy as you think. Here are my results, I had to draw a chandelier, a mosquito, an ice cream, a monkey, a strawberry and a wine glass. Listening to the guess the computer had us laughing.
Have you tried any of these, which did you enjoy? What techniques did you use or figure out?
Kia ora Room 9. I think it's awesome that you got to experiment with so many different forms of art. I agree that the sand art would make great backgrounds for animations. It's always great to create your own content not just use someone else's images. Can't wait to see what you create next.
