What kind of application can I make with NetBeans?

[Eretaia]

Hello everyone. A newbie here, obviously. You could tell from the title.

I have a rather odd question to ask but please bear with me as I really need help form somebody experienced. I'm an art/design university student, but as of recently, I also have side courses of Java where we use NetBeans. And for this exam, we're requested to make a simple application for windows, but we also have help from professors and senior students, because we've literally just begun and are completely incapable of doing something on our own.

For now, we're only requested to think of a project (which should preferably have some artistic nature or purpose) which we will be realizing in the future with NetBeans with help of our professor and this is where I need your help guys. Given that I still don't know NetBeans and java that well (it's not my field after all and I've just gotten into it), I don't really know their possibilities. So, do you possibly have any ideas about what kind of application I could develop with NetBeans which would have some artistic purpose or nature? You know, something like a simple paint program with various options or something that has to do with images/audio/video. Literally, any idea is useful for me.

Like I said, our professors will be helping us out with the code, so it shouldn't be all that simple. We're supposed to a bit creative, eh, but since I've just gotten into this field, I'm really confused about what can be done and what cannot.

Thank a lot, and I really apologize if the question was out of place but I don't know who else to turn to.

This should give you an idea: http://netbeans.org/features/platform/showcase.html

It would be great to do an advanced paint application but is a huge task for probably too short time .

How about a fractal generator:

a single form that allows input of a size (scaler) and a direction
(angle expressed as radians or degrees) and two buttons, one that says
"Go" and one that says "Clear".

The main part of the form is a canvas on which your program will draw
the fractal.

The operator inputs a number for the size and a number for the direction
and presses the "Go" button. Your program generates a fractal pattern
from the inputs and draws it on the canvas.

If you want to get fancy add a choice of colour....
