This project started out as Van Gogh's Portrait of Dr. Gachet. I broke the painting down into its basic colors and calculated the percentages of those colors on the painting using basic geometric shapes and calculations. After that was done, I wanted to make something from that that was fun and interactive (something that many of Van Gogh's works seem to lack, being drab and depressing for the most part). This peg board with colored tiles seemed to be the best way to take the essence of Van Gogh's masterpiece and transform it into something fun. After I constructed and painted everything, I asked my classmates to help me out by making their own designs on the board, and this was the result! I don't think I could have asked for a better result.
Thank you to everybody who contributed to my project by creating their very own design!
