Color Shapes

   We did the project shown above to teach us what changing the opacity would do to something. First Mr. Sullivan passed out a sheet of paper that had directions on it which told us what was required to be in and on the project. It was a specific list of what size, color, and opacity each shape had to be. Once we did that we learned about contour continuation which is why certain things are pleasing to a persons eye and why others aren't. For something to be contour it is as if the two or more shapes share a common line. To find where the contour lines are you put marks at the line farthest to the right, left, top, and bottom, as if making a square around the certain shape. Each shape in this project follows the contour of another.  Once we were done with that we had to count how many different colors there were in the whole picture however we started with only the basic colors red, blue and yellow. Rather then making only one picture we had to make 3 different works of art. All in all this project taught me what contour continuation was and how to use it to make other colors and more pleasing pictures.
