Geometric Art Solution Here's the solution to the Geometric Art Puzzle 1) Looking at the lines in the puzzle--- What is the basic geometric shape involved in the creation of the puzzle? The basic geometric shape is a "3-Dimensional" cube, or what I call a "box", drawn on a 2-Dimensional paper! Remember doing this in grade school?
--There are two 3-D boxes of each primary color: red, yellow, and blue --Each set of same-colored boxes overlap each other by sharing the same solid colored square as one side of the "box" --there are 3 such sets total, one for each primary color. --Then the 3 sets of same-colored overlapped boxes overlap each other, creating the pattern (Six boxes, or cubes, total).
Where are the "extra" lines in the puzzle not necessary for the basic geometry? Upper right hand corner--the two purplish-blue line segments are not necessary in the formation of the six boxes. I added them in to "fill in" the "corner" to give the overall shape of the puzzle more symmetry.
2) Looking at the colors in the puzzle-- There are 3 primary colors used --blue, red, yellow. What is the rationale behind the orange, green, purple, and brown line placement?
Whenever lines from the three primary colored 3-D boxes--red/blue/yellow--overlap, you get the other colors. Whenever you have a line from one of the boxes running though a solidly colored square, you also get the same mix of colors (example: a blue line running through the yellow square becomes a green line; a yellow line running through the blue square becomes green also, etc.)
