Mystery Painting
recreated by our Walter Hays partners
Our painting is almost a square. The vertical side is a teeny bit longer than the horizontal side. Our painting is divided into three equal rectangles going vertically. All the rectangles have been divided into three squares going horizontally. At the very bottom of the left and right rectangle, but not the middle one, there is a dark gray line below the bottom square that is about 1/4 the size of the bottom square.
The bottom left square is red with a royal purple circle in the middle. The left side of the circle has about 1/5 of it cut off.
The middle square of the left rectangle has a dark-gray background with an aqua-blue trapezoid in the middle. The trapezoid's top right corner is pointing up farther than the left top corner.
The top left square is a shade of purple like a plum. In the middle of the square there is a dark-gray trapezoid with the top left corner pointing out farther than the bottom left corner.
The bottom square of the right rectangle has a plum-purple background. There is a red circle in the middle. The circle has 1/5 of the bottom right part cut off.
The middle right square has a medium-blue background. It has a green trapezoid in the middle. The trapezoid's bottom right corner is pointing out farther to the right than the top right corner.
The square above that has a dark gray background with a red trapezoid tilted diagonally. The right side is facing upwards.
The middle column has a thick red line above the top square. It is about as thick as 1/4 of the square.
The top middle square has a sky-blue background with a darker blue circle in the middle. The circle has about 1/5 of its bottom part cut off.
The very middle square has a grass-green background. There is a huge circle in the middle that almost covers the whole square.
The bottom middle square has a sky-blue background. There is a grass-green square in the middle.
Our painting's name is Turkiz III. Turkiz III was painted by Victor Vasarely in 1965. It is 34 inches high and 31 inches wide. Turkiz III is in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.Analysis

We know we described the background well because our partners used most of the right colors. We also described the gray and red stripes well
One thing we could have done better was describe the size of the shapes more accurately, because our partners drew the shapes very small.
