Chromatic approximations of the number π

LUNA is an annual one-evening-only event at Toronto's Crescent School celebrating the arts.  This year's iteration, LUNA Nova, is the first time in three years that this event returns in-person on-site.  Chromatic approximations of the number π is my project for LUNA this year.

π is known to be an irrational number, which means that it is a non-terminating non-recurring decimal.  As it is not possible to exactly represent π with all its digits, we can only approximate it.  My project explores approximations of π using colours.  Here are some snapshots of my project from this past Thursday ...
