Changes

For my final project, I took the nursery rhyme of “Humpty Dumpty” and gave it some “feminine flare”. Women are known to be emotional so I figured I would turn Humpty Dumpty into a female and display her emotions on her face through the use of colors. Certain colors go with certain moods. I wanted to display a bright, warm color when the viewer starts to read the nursery rhyme in order to show how happy Humpty Dumpty is at the beginning. Then towards the end of the nursery rhyme I wanted to display Humpty Dumpty’s sadness through darker, cooler colors.

I used both Arduino and Processing in order to light up an RGB LED light. The code for Arduino tells the board which light to turn on, whereas the code for Processing creates a color wheel where I can choose which colors to display. The RGB LED lights up and changes colors according to which color I click on. If you click and drag the mouse over the color wheel, it creates a confusing or “emotional” effect. I also put Humpty Dumpty on a brick wall in order to help the viewer visualize the nursery rhyme.
