Assignment 9, Problem 3

"Draw five triangles in the style of a famous Bauhauser":
Transforming an idea into digital form

One key difference between traditional art space and the digital medium is that in the latter, a coordinate system is an inherent part of the system.

When dealing with simple geometric figures such as lines, triangles, squares, circles, etc. this inherent coordinate system grants an exceeding amount of control over the work.

This piece highlights the extent to which I incorporated mathematical structures behind my work: a design choice I had employed throughout the many assignments of MAS110. In this particular work, I mimicked the central diagonal line that exists in the original Bauhaus painting with the linear line y = 3x - 300. Then, by utilizing ideas from elementary algebra, the ultimate result is "devoid of decoration" and is constructed with only "clean lines of function" -- in the form of perfectly perpendicular and parallel lines -- in the Bauhaus style.
