This is my first attempt at color vibration prints. It's hard to see, but it's an image of an incense stick and smoke flowing up. My pattern is inspired by a 70s poster of a peacock. I might stay with this pattern but change my composition up. There needs to be more going on in my opinion. I'd also like to make the tiles smaller and possibly change my complimentary colors.

**Accidental homework** - Advancing and Receding colors that convey different tones and meanings. One is whispering Hello, one is simply saying Hello, and the other is shouting Hello. Can you guess which one? 

I really enjoyed this activity because I have known this optical illusion but to instantly see it happen was cool. After staring at the top square with purple and yellow-green, you will notice an "after image of perceptual complementary colors." After that, you will notice that the below yellow- green and purple square appear more vivid.

"When used together, warm, high-value, high-chroma colors appear closer in distance than cool, low-value, low-chroma colors. These are advancing and receding colors." In fewer words, cooler colors tend to recede while warmer colors advance.
