Pictures exceed at describing something that is too indescribable for words. Of course there are ways words can shed light onto subjects but a picture has a certain way with creating a physical connection to the subject matter. It is easy to say that Alice fell down a rabbit hole filled with a list of things with a list of colors. A step further, a picture can show how Alice LOOKED as she fell instead of how she felt while falling. Words are great but a picture adds a new perspective.

Part Two of Generative Art: Scribbler Too
This is the second program we used. It was similar to the first one but had some major differences. For starters, the generative lines connect as the user draws out the image. In the previous program, an outline was drawn and then the user pressed a 'start' button to start the generative process. This program still gives the user the ability to change the color, thickness, and 'scribbleness' but it is available as you draw and not only after you start the generative process in the first program. My favorite thing about this program is that it allows the user to upload an image that they can trace. I used this to trace a picture a girl. The original picture was a blonde, pale girl. I wanted my image to be slightly more striking so I added more lines to the hair to make it darker and a thicker line above the eyes. Note: these are not the same lines that distinguish the eyebrows. I am very proud of my second picture. I'm going to say this now and I'm going to flaunt it, I did NOT use a picture to trace. That is my own hand that I used to look at. I loved how I could utilize the generative lines to look like the tiny lines of you fingers and hand. I really enjoyed this and that says something due to the fact that I haven't enjoyed the previous projects. It was pretty close to just drawing on paper and that is probably why I liked it as much as I did.
