Reflection

While the project prompt sounded pretty straight-forward, I found the process of trying to create randomness on a computer extremely difficult. Tools like the color sampler on Photoshop helped me translate aspects of the original into my product, but the gestural strokes of the brush in Norman Lewis's original paintings were lost in this digital form. Though there is still a good deal of movement in the picture I created, the human aspect that initially drew me into "Harlem Courtyard" was also difficult to convey in a digital form. 

If I were to do this again differently, I would have used a tablet so that the strokes could be a little more gestural and human.
