week 2: myself in spring

for this weeks assignment we were to gather inspiration from a famous artwork we liked and write a program that drew an artwork based upon what we had researched. I decided to look into Bauhaus art, a movement I am heavily influenced by, that transformed design in the 20th century and is renowned by designers across the globe. These works were by a particularly famous artist that was a part of the movement, called Josef Albers. His artwork reminded me of what I have encountered having moved to Seoul, a vibrant and colourful city filled with symmetry and linearity. Each square study makes me think of the lights you can often see twinkling from any viewpoint at night, a sight I'm not used to.

I created this artwork using a Java in Processing.
