Mystery Painting Description
by Bobby and Annie
Mystery Painting
recreated by our Walter Hays partners
You should start with a regular piece of drawing paper placed vertically. The picture is one-fifth longer than it is wide. The background is chocolate brown. In the foreground of the picture there are four rectangles with fuzzy edges. The rectangles are above each other with a little space in between them. The rectangle on the top takes up about one-tenth of the picture, is a dark pumpkin orange, and is almost wide as the paper. The rectangle on the bottom is similar in color, but is twice as tall as the top one. Right under the top rectangle, there is a rectangle that is five times the height of the top rectangle. Under this biggest rectangle, there is a blurry white rectangle about the size of the top rectangle. The painting gives us a plain feeling.
Analysis
by Annie and Bobby
Some things that worked well for us and for our partners were the chocolate brown background, the vertical paper, the four squares on top of each other, and most of the colors of the rectangles.
We forgot to tell them the color of one of the rectangles. They forgot to make the edges of the rectangles fuzzy.
