To create the style of the artist Jackson Pollock, I made my design incorporating a lot of different things.
For example, to create the squiggly scribbling lines similar to that of Pollock’s, since I didn’t want to do only straight lines, I decided to make an event of chance where there’s a 50% chance of the lines turning right and 50% turning left and then moving forward. Drawn out, this replicates the scribbling lines seen in the artwork, and if it touches the edge, it bounces off. Moreover, I also set the pen saturation to a limit of degree of randomness so that it is not only one color. 

My variable “Rainbow angle lines (top right and bottom left)” inserts a 90-degree right angle onto the screen where its hues are selected at random from a list of possible colors. The right angle lines also point in an unexpected direction to create that degree of uncertainty and irregularity that cannot be replicated, similar to that of Pollock’s. The variable is named as it is as the lines are limited to only the top right and bottom left of the stage.

Next up, my “squiggly scribbling lines (top left & bottom right) resemble the scribbling lines of changing hues in the top left and bottom right of the stage. Subjected to a chance of either turning left or right and moving forward 1 to 4 steps, this variable is similar to the squiggly blue lines variable but is limited to the top left and bottom right of the stage only.
