Lib 110 Project


     This is an imitation of Wassily Kandinsky’s, “Colorweaver”. It is a good imitation of it because it does exactly the same as if Kandinsky were to do it again. You start off by dividing a sheet of paper into four equal pieces right down the middle. Once you’ve divided it up, color a triangle in each box located in the center. Next you color trapezoids. Each time you color one in, you must rotate the paper and then change to a different color. As you go along, you might want to vary on the shades of colors that you use. Rather than using a rather dark palette, throw in some very light colors such as sky blue and yellow-green. Each part should have about the same amount of different colors. Each part color should take approximately the same amount of space as the others do. To make sure you are mixing it up enough, every once in a while stop and take a look to see which colors you have been using , and see if there are any other colors you should throw in. All in all, the major key to getting this right is variety and making sure you use a lot of it.
