This is my week 4 assignment. I used a picture of my cats and I am playing around with the size of the dots/lines to get an impressionist look.
I chose an image with a clear color contrast between the leaves. After using the pointillism technique, I wanted it to feel moist, like morning dew! Since impressionism focuses on one's impressions, I thought the image should be a realistic landscape. Also, like the scientific approach of neo-impressionism, I wanted the color contrast to be visible. I hope I can use this to create a more interesting effect.
They're such adorable friends!!! Are they playing with a string? It feels like I'm secretly watching them through a mosaic window, which makes it so intriguing. The way you adjusted the length of each dot’s brushstroke adds a natural touch, almost as if they were painted with a real brush.
Here is my week 4 project. I'm definitely going to keep working on it, I'm also not sure why the dots are not on top of the picture even though I brought the sprite to front? Snap! Build Your Own Blocks
Hi, this is my week 4 project. I used a photo I took at National Harbor a few years ago, which I liked because of the many colors used. I played around with the dot sizes and realized a smaller size is best since there are so many details.

Hi, this is my week 4 assignment: Snap! Build Your Own Blocks
Basically just did a bunch of random points and got the color of that point and painted a dot there, recreating the American Gothic painting.
I like the vertical lines to add an abstract touch! I would recommend making a few blocks so that it's clear what each set of code does. Cool stuff!
That's our fault, I'm afraid. When we initially designed this module, that block wasn't in the Snap build. Or if it was, we missed it. Since discovering it, we simply haven't had time to update the documentation.I'm hoping to revise it this summer.
This is super cool! I love the simplicity of it but how it is also unique to what anyone else had done!
This is super cute! I think if you tried to lighten the photo a little before starting it could allow things to blend in a little less, like the carpet and the toy mouse/squirrel. Great job!
I really like the spin blur effect it gives off and really brings motion into your painting. Super interesting given the picture you chose is a still image.
The circular patterns pairs really well with the image you chose because it resembles waves! This does super well in creating that dreamy look you mentioned.
Oh, I see now. Thanks for explaining. I only posted because ejkesser asked for help with the turbo mode. BTW, replacing the 
block with the 
block (which uses primitives) makes the project faster.
I really like the image you chose! I think it makes sense to use dots to maintain the details of the image and I really like how you adjusted the transparency of the dots. It makes the drawing look mirage-like.
I really like the image you chose, I think it lends itself well to this project! One thing I like in particular is the specks of white space throughout the image that are left in between some dots. It gives a cool faded photograph kind of vibe.
This is so cool! I especially like the look of the small lines with the landscape background!
I really liked the base image you picked for you painting, and I also really liked the way it turned out. More specifically, I think the size of dots you chose led to a really cool effect where it seems almost blurred.
Thats really cool!
I like the 
and the 
its really clever (in my opinion) of how you did it to repaint the American Gothic painting. 
I really like how the more saturated dots where the sun is hitting the building really stand out against the more muted colors of everything else!
