The Drawing
For this recitation, I chose the following piece by Sol LeWitt as my inspiration:
I chose it because I was drawn to the 3D effect using three very contrasting colors can have. I wanted to create a drawing that used bright contrasting colors like this.
Below is the result:
It is very different from the source of inspiration: the color scheme is different, and I used non-rectangular shapes. However the deign stemmed from trying to achieve a playful 3D-esque look through the use of contrasting colors.

The hardest part for me was figuring out the coordinates, but when I sketched the design on paper, that problem was solved. I look forward to feeling comfortable animating designs to see them come to life!
