Ways of Seeing – FYLC Fall 2019

Dark value
Light value
Broad value
The different values set a tone played along with the way my hands are positioned. For the dark narrow one , it looks very dramatic because of how dark the shadows are surrounding the image and and some parts of my hand . Secondly the broad one has more of a neutral feel by the shadows dont overconsume my hand and my hand is straight out, lastly the light narrow one seems very calm because of how light it is setting that simple tone off.
I found this skylight interesting because of how colorful the glass piece is all around except for the middle. Another thing that caught my eye is how geometric the design is that it gives off a sense of abstraction but not too much. Lastly the pattern that is shown going around , I thought was very nice by how the design repeats.
There were many surprising things on this field trip. But to me this coloring book was the most surprising. To be honest I was mostly concerned about who this coloring was for. Is it for adults? Or is it for children? If it’s for children I understand why because they are informing children at an early age about the dangers of H.I.V, though a fun way but are they introducing it too early. Another thing that surprised me was the time period this coloring book was made in. It was made in 1987. In the 80s H.I.V was just hitting NY and the fact that they made a coloring book to raise awareness of the outbreak is really interesting to me.

I put a serious face, that represents my determination moving on forward. I want to show people clearly my image and in a way, they will never forget my face or who I represent. An artist.

The dark value sets a mysterious mood it has a light source that creates almost a highlight like however it still looks dark and heavy. As for the broad value it has dark and light tones that set a dramatic mood of the hand holding a glass bottle which creates highlights and shadows. The light value has a joyful mood in which shows a hand holding a paint brush and it the only dark tones are the ones from the actual paint.
