Prompt 4
This drawing tool is definitely full of uncertainty when I play it for the first time. I was trying to discover the four buttons on the top of the canvas (Boom, Bam, Bop, Pow) and see what they can do. I was surprised when I clicked on each one of them. I wasn’t quite sure what these sound phrases meant in the first place. I was really shocked to see Bam and Pow. Bam creates a target-like circular graphic once I click on it (almost looks like an explosion with the sound effect “bam”); Pow is erasing the entire canvas to a blank page (like everything just puffs away with the sound effect “pow”). These visual feedback definitely help me to understand what is going on with the drawing tool. I tried to create a face with the tool: Boom brush for the facial details, Bam brush for the eyes, and Bop brush for the hair. It diverged from my expectations because some brush strokes showed up immediately once I clicked on their buttons. It twisted my perspective for a face a little bit. I believe there is some randomness in the Bop brush. Different shapes of polygons appear in a random order with different shades of colors. I think this brush add-on the uncertainty of the entire drawing tool. In addition, I believe there is some hidden information in the Boom brush. The color of the bush varies based on where it landed on the canvas. For example, all the brush marks on the center of the left edge are blue whereas the brush marks on the upper right corner are purple.
