Kristin Phillips: Color FLOR & Camouflage Concepts

Camouflage Concepts:

1. Sparrows in branches: I noticed that sparrows like to perch in the tangled vines of ivy on the side of Hendrick's Chapel. Because their feathers are tan and flecked, they almost completely blend into the building, until you look closely for movement.
2. Octopus: An octopus can change its texture, color, and shape within seconds to match its environment.
3.Heffalumps and Woozles: I remembered an old Winnie the Pooh music sequence that I used to really like watching when I was younger. The "heffalumps" and "woozles" are supposed to be scary because they can become any shape, size, color, texture, etc. to steal Pooh's hunny. The animation was always colorful and fun to watch. This idea would work well as a tesselation.
4.Water Droplets: When snow melts on the window, it leaves thousands of tiny water droplets that could create a really nice pattern/tesselation. Also, a lot of times, there are hidden shapes/designs within the large area of droplets.
5. Many animals: I could create a black and white forest where the positive and negative forms of black and white also suggest animals hiding in the woods.
