The SpectrumCanvas cast
Each friend shows you one idea by how they act. Meet them all and see how the ideas fit together.
-
Pool The wash — the controlled spread of watercolor / wet pigment across a surface (the foundational fluid-art gesture; the moment a single drop becomes a shape) -
Cradle The composition cradle — the balance of weight and negative space on a canvas (where heavy / light elements rest and where the eye can rest) -
Hum The color-emotion mapping — the assigning of feelings to color zones (central to SpectrumCanvas's emotion palette feature: which colors feel like which emotions, per learner) -
Soften The sensory-soften gesture — any move that reduces visual / textural stimulation when it gets high (lower contrast, reduce saturation, calm the line weight, soften the edges) -
Weave The collage weave — the layered overlay of textures + photos + drawn elements (central to social-story illustration and to multi-media composition) -
Etch Line / gesture / mark-making -
Lodestar Focal point / emphasis -
