Project Explanation:
This is an interactive project where users can draw their vision of spring 😀
The canna will be 800 in width and 600 in height. The right hand side, a 200 in width and 600 in height area, will be the interaction area where users draw whatever they want there. This part will be projected onto the left hand side, a 600*600 square area, for four times. The first projection is presented with a 45 degree rotation of the original canvas, and the rest will be 90/180/270 degree rotation of the first. The interaction area will be scaled into a smaller size so that the four can form the shape of a windmill. Afterwards, when pressing the key or the mouse (I haven’t decided on that yet), the windmill will be able to spin.
The color for users to choose from will mainly be green and pink. I sourced the inspiration of the project for the piece Serpentine Dance by Cat.Lumière, as shown in the exhibition Women in Abstraction. (https://www.centrepompidou.fr/en/ressources/oeuvre/c6b9k46) The color is from a photo I took during the presentation of the video, while the shape is similar to the dance presented in the video, although the rotation happens in a three-dimensional space.
Other Notes
- One of the most important things I need to figure out during coding is that whether it is easier to use what we’ve learnt in week#2, the codings to create symmetric effects, or it is easier to use “push/ pop/ translate/ rotate/ scale” to project the interaction area.(or it could be a combo of both?)
-
The process of coding, in my opinion, will start from setting up the interaction area with one single color and single, immobile shape ➾ set up the projection area ➾ figure out how to make the four projections rotate ➾ add the interaction ➾ add the color
