My project is a generative, abstract depiction of outer space. I used an array created by a for loop to display the lines moving up the window. I drew the planets, rocket, and ufo from my phone, converted it into a transparent png by deleting the background in Photoshop, and imported them into my sketch. Then, to make them move, I created classes for each object with a move() and a show() function to generate the their random movements on the screen.

I ran into several problems during the process of my project. Firstly, I had problems getting my lines and my images to move, which was solved with use of classes and reference to the previous raindrop catching exercise. I also had a hard time getting the colors to show correctly with the random lines, but I decided to do without the colored lines because I preferred the minimal grayscale look. Additionally, I had more illustrations I wanted to add to my project but they began to slow down the loading of the entire project, so I omitted some elements as well.
