LO: Undertand that art creates different emotions in people
Does everyone like Broccoli?
Not everyone likes the same thing and it's the same with art.
Today, we are becoming Emotion Detectives! We are going to learn that when we look at art, our feelings are like a fingerprint—no two people are exactly the same.
Create your own artwork and then have AI generate music to match it.
Do you think the music matches your art?

LO: To use own background.
Add our own background to OctoStudio.
Last week we looked at how to add our own characters in. This week let's create a new background in EE and upload it to OctoStudio.
Now lets add our character to Octo Studio.
Bring your character to life by coding it to move in different directions.
In Scratch Jnr we had different blocks for different directions but in this we don't. Take a look at how we get the sprite to move in different directions.
When we change size, + positive numbers mean it gets bigger, - negative numbers means it gets smaller
