The Real Rothko
Our Hoover Partners' Painting from Our Description
Our Description of the Painting:
Read this before you start drawing. The paper is a normal piece of paper, longer than it is tall. There are three smaller rectangles. The rectangles are vertical lines, a fat rectangle and two thinner rectangles. The edges are fuzzy. The fat rectangle takes up half the page and is on the left. It doesn't quite touch the side, the top, or the bottom of the paper. The thin rectangle in the middle doesn't touch the bottom or the top of the paper.
A very thin line separates the thin rectangle from the fat rectangle. There is another thin rectangle on the right. It doesn't touch the top, the bottom, or the side. It and the middle thin rectangle are separated by a very thin line. The two thin rectangles and the very thin line in the middle fill up the same amount of room as the fat rectangle.
The background and the very thin lines are light purple. The fat rectangle is a black purple. The middle rectangle is purple and the rectangle on the left is white with purple smudges.
Reflection on Our Progress:
We think we should have explained that there were vertical rectangles and not lines. We explained the part about not touching the sides well. We could have explained the positions and the shape better. We think we explained the color all right. We think we explained the thin-light purple lines well, although they were drawn as fat lines. Altogether, you did the painting fairly well.
