THE DANCE

This pattern was designed in my color theory class to demonstrate my understanding and control of color identity.  In this piece there are only four colors, however by changing the background from a high value yellow to a low value yellow I was able to make the viewer think that they are seeing more colors then are actually present. This piece is entitled "The Dance" because the pattern was designed for Misty Copeland, who is a ballerina. The motifs are inspired by the shapes made by her and her partner's bodies as they move.
