Each “slide-together” is made from identical copies of a single type of regular polygon (e.g., just squares or just triangles) with slits cut at the proper locations. “Slide-togethers” based on hexagons, decagrams, and pentagrams

New Ornate Insects Drawn by Alex Konahin Zentangles: my new favourite artform | The Underground Artist Pub I recently bought the book One Zentangle a Day from amazon and I’ve found it a lovely and practical introduction into the art of zentangles.

These tiles can be shaped to create a greater picture or form. Below is a starter Zentangle that I drew recently. Here are some more advanced zentangles from the web. Why not give zentangling a go.

Color Wheel A complete range of color effects is found in jewelry pieces from dazzling to subdued. With a little knowledge of classic color theory, creations can be naturally pleasing, bringing rave reviews for their harmony.

Our interactive Color Wheel lets you use basic color theory by quickly and easily determining each type of color relationship. Just follow the easy-to-understand instructions below and add to your repertoire of creative techniques! We've also included a brief history of contemporary Color Theory and of the man who invented it, Johannes Itten.

Mixing a primary color with a nearby secondary color yields a tertiary color. Here are four basic color schemes: monochromatic, analogous, complementary and split-complementary.

Discovering the World of Art The Art of Brian Dettmer "The richness and depth of the book is universally respected yet often undiscovered as the monopoly of the form and relevance of the information fades over time. The book’s intended function has decreased and the form remains linear in a non-linear world.
