Generative Line Color Study II

Directions:

I. Boil hot water. Make a large cup using green tea leaves given to you at least one decade earlier and brought directly from Japan. Wonder why you never drink it.

II. Use an algorithmic music finder to choose experimental ambient music that may have been composed using a machine learning program. Note that you enjoy it.

III. Choose a set of three colored pencils with the following criteria: they are all tonally related based around a tone you do not like. Chose a second set based on the same principal, but chose the tonal range to be the ugliest related to the first set. Recognize the colors you’ve chosen were once the most popular combination for house decor not long before your lifetime. Consider the vagaries of retail design and fashion trends.

IV. Attempt to hand draw straight lines using a regular pattern of color dispersion. Ensure the lines are as close as possible while leaving a small gap between them. Notice every time your hand shakes.

V. While keeping the lines straight, also maintain the sharp tip on the pencil as you draw. Realize another color is attached to the tip of your pencil and entirely changes your color direction. Appreciate this oddity.

VI. Assess how to describe what you are doing. Find you have been inspired by Lorrie Moore, and make a note to call your mother.
