Color theory homework


I made this quilt to make up for having missed the class exercise on how adjacent colors can influence one's perception of a color. The central rectangle in each column is the same color and size but the background color changes how one might perceive it. (In the image the columns read horizontally while the backgrounds step down.) I showed it in my color theory class last night. The instructor was really excited to see it since it demonstrates several points she's made in the discussions.

Overachieving me - this came out larger than a twin.

Next step is to decide on borders - any thoughts?

Great job Jenny! How many sessions are in your color theory class? Is the class designed "for quilters" or for artists in general?

6 classes total - unfortunately I've missed two. Next Monday (11/22) is the last session. The class is geared for anyone interested in color. Several of the folks in class are gearing up for retirement so starting to think about hobbies, interests, etc. Others mentioned finally having the leisure to explore their own interests.
