Recently I learned about the idea of an Islamic Circle. I learned how geometric figures were very important, particularly circles which some refer to as "spiritual geometry." I also learned how important symmetry was in making designs. Because I was so intrigued, I decided to create my own version of an Islamic Circle. I began with my circle cut into 6 wedges, and on each wedge I drew different designs. Ultimately I selected one and traced it onto a new circle on each wedge. At this stage I brought in color. On each wedge I tested out different color schemes seeing what might best complement the design I had created. I ultimately selected a split complementary scheme because I like the vibrant colors and how they were different, yet still all went together nicely to contrast certain elements. Because the final product was a circle, I added a blue background which complemented the design's color scheme and added a ribbon to also bring out the colors as well as some of the less noticed details.
I commented on the posts of Sam Thorup "Eye Am Fierce," Lexi Erickson, Hannah Childs "Dancing," Lindsey Peterson "Boston Red Sox," and James Birdsall "Burning Memories."
I really enjoyed this example of color because it also included a religious aspect and something I had never known before. The color scheme worked well and was very enticing to observe.
