She would change one parameter at a time and evaluate the aesthetic alterations. This way of creating is a smart way to understand the power of a singular artistic choice. I explored this manner of thinking by using simple shapes while altering the gradient of the strokes and fill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the initial version I began with a grid of triangles. The coordinates of the triangles are randomized. This image on its own is simple yet pleasing as it is orderly with just a touch of disorder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first variation I made affected the stroke weight. I also randomized this parameter, which adds some gradient to the image. It is honestly a little less satisfying since I feel like I want the darker triangles to outline an image within the grid, but it is only random. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screen-Shot-2019-10-23-at-11.14.02-PM-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12431\" srcset=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screen-Shot-2019-10-23-at-11.14.02-PM-1024x1024.png 1024w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screen-Shot-2019-10-23-at-11.14.02-PM-150x150.png 150w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screen-Shot-2019-10-23-at-11.14.02-PM-300x300.png 300w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screen-Shot-2019-10-23-at-11.14.02-PM-768x768.png 768w, http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Screen-Shot-2019-10-23-at-11.14.02-PM.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Second Image<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, I decided to add noise to possibly achieve motion within the image.
