Samantha Olinsky's Progress

I am "breaking" the MIT App Inventor program for my class project. Instead of using it to create functional apps, I am using the blocks to create a purely visual work of art.

I first went through the different block options on MIT App Inventor to establish my "color palette."

Here's a picture of all the
available block categories.

I chose the above ones to work with, as they
are the ones I used to use most in app creation.

Next, I decided on the content of the visual piece of work. I wanted to play off of the idea of the mobile app, and phones in general. I decided to create an image of a vintage candlestick-style phone. 

An example of a candlestick phone.

To give myself a "guide" for placing the blocks to make this image, I photoshopped an image of the vintage phone in the colors of the blocks from above.

I decided to place the image in a simple illustration of an android phone to connect it back to the idea of MIT App Inventor, and the fact that it only works on android phones.
