Shadows
I bought a box of Crayola crayons, the big box with 60 colours in it. I was going to channel my inner Van Gogh and create beautiful works of art.
Turns out I have no artistic ability. What I do have, though, is a Herculean ability to sit in front of a computer for
days churning out pointless programs. So I wrote a program to do my art for me. Here's what I came up with.
These are shadow box projects. They are some of my favourite photos in 4:3 aspect ratio (because that's what fits on an 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper)
colour reduced to the crayola 60 crayon palette. What you do is print out a crayon page and put it under a piece of paper and then on top of your shadow box.
Then colour your piece of paper with that crayon colour using the shadows as a guide.
Instead of a shadow box you can of course simply use a window. I made a cheap and easy shadow box by getting an old picture frame and its sheet of glass and
laying it on a tupperware box with a battery operated light inside of it. Whatever works.
