Lines on the wall

this was a fun experiment. We each chose a paper square out of a cap and tried to re-create the line drawing onto a larger square. Once we had each filled in our squares we mounted them all on the wall together, side by side. The result was an un-uniform pattern that was compleately random and very interesting.
This was an adventure that we took together to try to better understand Sol Lewitt, the american conceptual artist that made a huge ripple in the modern art pond.
The relationships that the squares had between one another suggested a pushing and pulling and a desire to reach a comleate shape. The lines would almost make sense, but there was always a wayward line that threw the eye off track. I also thought the range of gradients in the line drawings were interesting.
