Van Gogh's Crab on its Back





I chose Van Gogh's painting Crab on its Back because of my love for Deadliest Catch. After selecting the six most prominent colors from this piece of work, I calculated the percentages of how much of each color there was in the painting. That is how I knew how much of each color to use when creating my project. The circles (which were cut out using a LaserCamm) are not just arbitrarily placed. They are actually in the form of the crab from the painting. When looking directly down at my project, you see three levels of green gradating from the lightest shade on top to the darkest shade on the bottom. Inside the cut out circles is where you can see the other three colors, the gold, orange, and black.
