Sound Scribble - Images

Images taken.

Drawing and sound

* Final sounds.

- Eastern string instrument with 13 different pitches.

- 13 Different types of electronic short sounds (edited using Audacity).

* Position of drawing and sound.

- The paper will be divided virtually into 13 sections. One section will represent one sound of a string instrument and one electronic sound.

* Thickness of line and sound.

- Depending on the thickness of the line drawn, it triggers either the string instrument or the electronic sound.

- Thin : Eastern string instrument.

- Thick : Electronic sound.

- Assumption: People who do not do calligraphy may create more thick lines rather than thin lines.

Varnish

* Ink drop on a wood may cause the mark to stay there forever.

* Andreas and Teresa suggested to varnish the wood with a protecter film.

* A piece of wood without varnish. Ink dropped.

* Varnish materials.

* Using a piece of wood as a sample.

* First layer of varnish.

* The mark is still on the wood.

* The 5th varnish.

* Cleaned.

* Varnish the whole box, something happened, there are a lot of small bubbles on the surface.

Falling pen

* The pen holder has no boundary/ wall to prevent it from falling.

* Holder with wall.

* Embedded on the box.

* Andreas suggested in making a knob for the door for convenience purpose.

Weak structure and pen holder

* The new object is weak in structure.

* A pressure on top may cause the structure to break.

* Andreas suggested to put additional pieces of wood on every edge/ corner of the box to keep the structure firm.

* a piece of wood.

* Glued on the structure.

* An extension of the box, a place to hold the writing tool (the pen).

* The stronger final object with a holder.

Final Object

* Rolled paper.

* Embedded on the structure.

* The other part of the roller.

* Side and top view.
