Mimicking Sophie Taeuber-Arp's Works


I chose the work of Sophie Taeuber-Arp because I found simplicity in her work but at the same time it was constructive because she made the design that was interesting and all she used was shapes to create it. The piece was made 1918, composed with square, rectangles, triangle and circle. 
It was chosen to be in the MOMA exhibition because of the obscured distinction between  fine and applied art by creating a number of needlepoints that they framed and hung on the wall like paintings.

I like this piece because it looks easy to work but in programming it was challenging  for me. The challenging part was putting the shape in the location it supposed to be. And in filling color of each shapes, I used the RGB codes online and trying to match or as close as possible to the original color of the piece.

Here's the link to where you can download my work:

Untitled(Composition with Squares, Circle, Rectangles,Triangles) -1918

First Version:


For extra credit, I made each shapes randomized the colors and to make more interesting I made the background color change each time with the mouse click. I used "random()" to randomized color of each shape and i used the  "void mousePress()" to use for changing the background each click. 


Second Version: Randomize the color of each shapes and background color change with mouse click
