Press the green flag, then use these keys to create with layers! Make Clones: Bring to Front: Send Back: purple right d s violet space v b yellow down y u pink left p o (can you find a surprise in the keys?)
"Scratch, Meet Ideas. Ideas, Meet Scratch" Create: Either: Start with an idea you're not quite sure how to bring to life in Scratch. Try it, see where it goes! OR Start with a feature/block/functionality that you haven't used in Scratch. Try it, see where it goes! (OR, try both!) Reflect: Why did you choose the starting point that you did? Where did you imagine you might end up? Where did your process go? I decided to go with the latter, seeking to play with layers. What can manipulating layers bring to a project? Here I start to think about that with a selection of simple sprites. How will the image shift as layering shifts? What was I thinking about in designing this challenge? I've been thinking about the differences between starting the creative process when driven by an idea or concept and when driven by an exploration of a new feature/block/function. What does process look like in each of those? What's exciting about each? What does exploring new feature/block/functionality do for our ideas? And what do our ideas do for discovering features/blocks/functionality? A way to start exploring those differences seemed to be noticing which is driving a project, and then noticing process along the way. (For example, my exploration on Day 10 foregrounded functionality: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/236354120 and on Day 18 foregrounded an idea I envisioned: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/237060823)
