Back to Geometry-Oy Vey!

For the final two I chose to go back to the straight cuts because they make the piece sturdier overall. So there are two 12x18 pieces shown in this entry. I wanted to go with some color theory with these two. Above I went with a complementary color scheme. If you don't know what that is, no problem! QUICK ART LESSON! Complementary Colors are just colors that are on opposite side of the color wheel from each other. So red and green, blue and orange, and yellow and violet. I chose to go with red and green with this particular one and I am very happy with the way that it turned out! For the next piece I chose to go with a monochromatic color scheme. Again-QUICK ART/LATIN LESSON! Monochromatic means a color scheme that consists of one color and the darks and lights of that color. Mono means one, and chroma means color. One+Color=MonoChromatic! As you can see from this "in-progress" photo, I chose to go with blue and I am very happy with the way it turned out!
