Sudokulor: the color pallet of Sudoku puzzle

Sudoku is a famous puzzle about playing around number. The rule is to make every column and row filled with number 1 to 9, also every 3 by 3 block in the puzzle.

When I looked at the big matrix which it turned out to be every now and then, I reminded of the colormap, in which the color can be indicted by number within 1 to 9. One thing very interesting in this attempt is to pick three numbers from 1 to 9 can stand for almost all colors, and the given rule in Sudoku is actually limiting columns, rows, 3 by 3 blocks to be several color matrix where we can find all of the color existing.

Note:

I picked six Sudoku puzzles and aligned three of them to one 9 by 9 by 3, three dimensional matrix, therefore, every point can make one RGB color.

Fine Art PUBLICITY by Susan Abbott

The art market today has been changed from invisible to visible, aggressive by the desire of being fasioned and cultured from human being. Self-promoting and the collaboration between galleries, museums, art centers, and artists are becoming more important. I am reading this book, which teaches you the power of PR, public relation, and how to utilize it appropriately to promote your art. I think it is helpful for both gallery owner and artist, especially those self-taught artists. I kind of enjoy it. I will post more discussion about what I’ve read.

The reception took place last night at Wydham O’hare at Chicago. It was a great event where I met many artists, curators, musicians, psycologists, doctors, and people from all walks of life. I strived for making my art understood to everyone who came to me. Overall, I think I did a great job! For those people who couldn’t make it last night, here are photos I took:

I will try to visit all art museums and centers during the summer, and I will put notes and pictures up to my google map. I hope you enjoy it as I do.

p.s. Natural art is also something I have interest in, so you will find it on the map too. e.g. Chicago Botanic Garden
