Today at the Addison we examined prints of Josef Albers. Students were thinking deeply about what colors they saw in each of these prints. How powerful to know that Albers was thinking the same things as he created these pieces. After our visit, students designed their own Albers-inspired rectangles that changed with size, location, and color. Seeing them create code to match their own art work was fantastic!

Sol LeWitt's wall drawing brought together many of the concepts we have studied. Through previously written rules, LeWitt asked participants to randomly select a segment or arc for each square foot section. The class looked at all the possible options for a random selection and then looked for streaks. Returning to what they have experienced already with coding and combinations was gratifying to see in such beautiful art work.
