Colored Sticks
I chose this image by Vasily Kandinsky because I loved the black background contrast to the brightly colored lines, arches, and the single red circle in the corner. I have been recently into lines so I was really drawn to the picture. My goal was to get a similar look, but I could not figure out how to make the lines colorful. My literal process was just putting as many lines and trying to cross them. I also did some arches and a circle in the corner to add something at a little more interesting to look out. Even though the color palette is simple I enjoyed the shade of the orange with a yellow undertone and how it goes with the gray lines. I am pretty proud of how it turned out like it to make it my screen saver on my laptop. Some obvious similarities are the single circle in a corner and the lines, but the lines are not as colorful. Another difference is the layering of rectangle shapes. I believe processing was fun to mess around with but was difficult for realizing my design because I had to keep running it once I made little changes.

I think this looks dope.
