Joy Tartaglia – Paper Nature Concept

My family took a trip to Ogunquit, Main over the weekend. We loved the waves crashing against the cliffs, so I was inspired to do something based on that. I was thinking I could draw some waves with varying heights, and touching them would increase the volume of a general soundtrack of waves. I could also maybe draw a rocky coastline that, when touched, would play a louder crashing sound. All of it would be accompanied by a video that would start by touching the smallest wave. I have some video of the waves from the trip, but we mostly took pictures, so if a short 17 second video isn’t enough, then I might have to find a YouTube video if that’s alright.

If my initial idea isn’t enough, then an alternative would be to draw a map of the path we walked. It was winding, and parts had a lot of foliage that muted the sound of the waves, while other parts were wide open and right on the rocky cliffs. I’m not sure what kind of animation to put with it, though. It’s kind of a shame I only came up with these ideas after the trip and not during it.

If I’m doing the first idea, then I plan to figure out a way to draw stylized waves that either have a solid graphite line, or I could use some other conductive material.

    It’s a great concept. Maybe something else that you may want to consider to explore is low and high tide? When I was in Maine last summer, it really surprised me to see how far the waves pull back during low tide.
