The second task was to cut out figures from black paper, and put these on top of a white paper. The goal was to find out at which point the figures disappear into the ground.
I find that when the black figures are centered in the middle of the white paper, you clearly see the white as a background. If I put the black figures along the edge of the white paper however, the figures disappears into the ground. It is not necessarily the dominant color that becomes the background, but the way the black and white is laid out.
