Classlist: A tapestry of Colour (Sample)

The tapestry pictured is composed of the colour representation of names of persons in our class [Experimental Studio Winter 2020]. Many people tend to associate particular colours with letters of the alphabet and I used a colour/alphabet key based on these associations to create tapestry/mosaic squares from the first and last names of people in our class. In the centre of each square is our root/essence- our family/last names which are then framed by the colours of our first/given names. The names depicted in this sample belong to our instructor Diane Borsato, as well as , Victoria abballe, Isabella De Tullio and, Grace Bilger, respectively.

The Following are the colour keys that I used to create the name tapestry. On the left are the pencil crayons I matched to the key created by Christian Faur.
