Creating Abstract Scratch

I'm currently working on a Final Project that has be completed using Scratch. I'm very new to this program and wondered if anyone has some good tips for creating an abstract scratch project or some good examples? I've only learned the complete basics but nothing about abstraction in Scratch.

I'm thinking about doing things like:
changing and manipulating the background
words simultaneously going everywhere across the screen
pretty much creating the idea of confusion and being overwhelmed

Thanks for your help!

Re: Creating Abstract Scratch

In the Looks tab there is a "Change "effect" Effect by (#)" and a "Set "effect" Effect to (#)" block which you can use to add different effects to your background.

Having words pop around on the screen would probably require a sprite with costumes that have different words in it. With that and the Pens section you can stamp each word in a random place with the Motion tab with the block "Go to x:# and y: #" block which you can use with the "pick number (1) to (10)" in the Operators to make the words go to random places and be stamped so it shows multiple words all over the screen.

Whatever confuses you the most you could add to the project. Not sure though.

Re: Creating Abstract Scratch

If you right-click on a block, and select help, It'll give you a tutorial about that block.
