The Goethe notation specify the proportion of color use in a composition. The
use of this chart can greatly enhance the overall design. These notations are
assigned to pure hues. The combination of yellow and red produces a ratio of
9:3, which means that yellow is much stronger than red. This proportion
number means “invertion of hues” that means the highest the number, the
smallest amount of colors in your design. Using a little yellow with a lot of red
means that yellow become very active.

Repeating hues are important to any artwork. Repeating can also impart
a feeling of rhythmic movement. Unity results are when the repetition is
put into an orderly sequence. The hue in this piece are monochromatic of
red on which create progression allowing the eye to move comfortably. The
sense of sequence or progression impart motion.
