Recitation 5 Documentation – Jackson Simon

This documentation asked us to find a piece of image art, and copy it, or transform it. I decided to use Vera Molnar’s Untitled from 1952:

I enjoy the simplicity of it. It makes me think that everyone is the same, yet originality is still in all of us. It is quite thought provoking for such a simple image.

I decided to transform it a tiny bit. I made the non-rotated squares have a random fill of color (but they are all the same). And I decided the make the rotated square a white circle. I tried at first to rotate the rectangle, however ran into multiple issues (every time I rotated it it would disappear from the screen), and even when I tried translate() on the squares height and width, it would not work. However, I do think making the rotated square a different shape can have the same effect as Vera Molnar’s piece of art; but also could very well invoke the thought of being totally different from everything else, without any similarities (even though they are the same thing: they are both shapes).
