In this assignment, I had to do two pairs of squares that shift value by using color.  Value meaning light to dark. Colors that could be used for low key is violent and blue. Colors that could reflect high key value is yellow, orange and green. When these pairs are made, to check if they are done correctly set it in gray scale. The small middle box should appear different, but are the same colors in reality. The surrounding colors are different which effect the color square inside. Here is my pairs:

Shifting Value in Color

I did a extra one:

Shifting Value in Color

For this assignment we were only allowed to use white and black. What we had to do was pick the same values and make them look different when they are either surrounded by white or black. I wanted to we both low key and high for my center values. I tested the colors to see if they did appear different on a white or black background. After that I cut out my squares and painted them. This is a photo of it.

One reason why I like working in groups is because you get to listen to everyone’s ideas and opinion. You have to work together to get the jump done. My group was abit awkward at first. We began talking and started working. We were drawing, glueing, cutting out red, yellows and orange from are scraps. We weren’t able to to finish in class. This is how it looked.

What my group did in class. (The letter “I” is missing)

I decided that I would take it home and finish it. We felt that the foreground was distracting. Also the letter did stand out from the foreground. With this I started to think about ways to fix this. Some area were not to same red, so I covered them up. I covered the letters with a color that would make it standout. Finally I added some flames from one of my favorite spicy chips…”Flaming Hot Cheetos”. In conclusion, I think it came out well. Hopefully my classmates and group mates will agree.

When this project was first explained, I did not understand. I was over thinking it. When I began to do it I started to understand. I have to use only Primary and Secondary colors on my broad and narrow for this study. I couldn’t mix them any further, or use white. Making the narrow was abit diffcult. For narrow, you have to only focus on a few colors. I wanted to make a high key, so my main colors were, yellow, yellow green and yellow orange. For broad you have to use all the colors.

Prismatic Narrow Range -High Key

Prismatic Broad Range

This assignment I had to make muted colors. Doing this assignment actually help me understand colors more. The assignment before this had me very confused, but now I can see which colors are chormatic and which are muted. The painting on the left is board and the one of the left is narrow high key.

This Assisignment was harder then doing the grayscale. I would mix colors and they would come out a completely different color then I expected. I tired my best, and hopefully it came out right. Here are a few photos on it. The first photo is my Narrow low key, and the next it my board.
