Okay to start off Atlas of Colour sounded better than it was. Firstly though, the colour theory was quite interesting, I liked the little facts ( eg. if you stare at a coloured circle for a long time you see the CONTRASTING HUE if you look away because your eyes just do it for some strange reason). Also the watercolour tasks were pretty fun since I havn't picked up a paintbrush in years (being one of the engineers and having maths and physics as my bread and butter). BUT everything else was just frustrating for me. Some tasks took quite a while and there were so many of them. It just felt like a million little tasks in a book. Looking back on the book, the accordian fold was quite an unusual specification to ask of us and was not fun at all for me.
Going to the 49 veils to see the window was very nice. They looked quite beautiful and the colours blended nicely.
I still dont fully understand the reason for the photoshop task and the face mapping one in relation to colour though...

The Central Synagogue in Bondi presents the window art of Janet Lawrence. This particular window which I have colour mapped depicts "Love - World Of Formation" which has spiritual meaning in the Jewish religion.
