I took inspiration from Frank Stella and Josef Albers’ work with varying colored squares. I find that these works illicit a 3D effect while being 2D designs. I created this patcher to change all layer colors based on pressing one of three buttons shown on the left side of the screen

Shape Abstraction
I took the Mona Lisa, pixelated it till it was just a bunch of abstract shapes and colors, and tried to recreate it in Max using circles and planes.
Tom Tawadros – Geometric Abstraction
I took inspiration from Richard Anuszkiewicz’s Splendor Of Red (1965) for this project. I may have underestimated the time it takes to create something compelling in Jitter. Nevertheless, this is my valiant first attempt.
“Space Civility” – Abstract Piece by Thomas Curtis
Right off the bat, I wanted to do something that highlighted the juxtaposition of spheres and cubes. Whenever I’ve done abstract work before I either end up doing something with connected shapes that blend into each other or using circles and squares. I felt that the latter would be a better introduction to the language…
Isaac Donkoh-Halm Geometric Abstraction (WIP)
My creative influences for this project was Josef Albers and Kanye West. My goal was to recreate each of Kanye’s album covers only using geometric shapes, and that the user could randomize the colors and positions of the shapes using buttons. I am currently working on finding ways to do so, but at the moment,…
Kyria Nelson – Geometric Abstraction Example
Hi all, sorry for the super-late example post. Based on what’s been posted already though, it seems like you guys have the hang of things 🙂 When going through the suggested inspirations, one artist in particular stood out to me – Zanis Waldheims. I loved his artworks which featured series of similar shapes with simple gradients,…
Colin Ancalmo – Geometric Abstraction
The pieces I took inspiration from were Richard Anuszkiewicz (specifically Splendor Of Red, 1965) and Nassos Daphnis (specifically 6-87 THE EXPLOSION, 1987). Anuszkiewicz’s Splendor Of Red use multiple lines close to give a sense of deceptive depth, while Daphnis’s THE EXPLOSION uses thin shapes and bold colors to show movement and direction. Starting with the…

Inspiration Project Screenshots Max Patch ScreenshotFollowing the example, I collected my objects into groups, both in the compositions and in the actual patch. The first two are the major groups on the left and right of each composition. Their shapes, colors, and sizes change with the three large buttons. When I finished them, I realized…
Jonathan Shiery – Geometric Abstraction
For my art piece, I took inspiration from Kenneth Martin’s chance order piece. I wanted to create a similar looking style to that one, but with a more grid based inspiration. To create my three variations, I switched around the three main colors into different areas.
Sylvia Lin – Geometric Abstraction
I have used Max before, however, jitter is totally new to me. I had no idea that Max, a music synthesis application, can actually be used to create digital art. Although I did not get as much time as I would like to explore the functionality of gl.sketch, I spent a lot of time in…
Cem Alemdar – Geometric Abstraction
I wanted to make something dynamic so I put a spinning spiral, (static for screenshots) which spins clockwise and then counter clockwise in the middle of my visualization. I also had a counter system that draws lines coming out of the center of the visualization. I was also able to manually change the color of…
Daniel McDonough – Geometric Abstraction
Inspiration: Richard Anuszkiewicz – Lemon Yellow Square This piece uses a solid color center and using lines around the square gives an illusion of depth. The use of white gradient around the corners gives the appearance of the square being “the light at the end of the tunnel” Richard Anuszkiewicz – Temple Of Cadmium Red…
