Sunrise and Sunset can be a perfect example of color progression, as sun appear and vanish in the horizon, it creates this fading color on the sky as the picture above demonstrates, the color of the sky is gradually turning into dark violet to blue.
For the free study , I decide to recreate the Lemonade album , but I didn’t want to show the details . I only wanted to show the Dominant, Sub-Dominant and Accent colors.
For this project, we have a chance to make a composition of whatever we want by using the colors for the color inventory of the composition in the museum. It was fun to create our own composition, but the work spends a bit more time than what I had thought. I have to make change for few times while I was trying to post phase 3, I look back on my composition, the color inventory on the bottom was different placement on the top. So I have to make switch them a little bit and added more color to separate the dominant color and sub-dominant color. What I can do better next time will be spending a little more time to experiment with the different tools in photoshop and illustrator to make a better composition that match my imagination.
I choose this picture that I took around the high line. Because the whole picture is made up of color. I took it during the summer and the picture pretty much shows that it was taken around a warm sunny day. The contrast on the mural was edited a bit but in the original it express the same amount of contrast.
This picture I took around my block, the natural light in the sky during the sunset was very beautiful and eye attracting that I had to take it.
For my freestudy composition, I decided to do a beach scene because I have different kind of blues. My dominant color was the light purple blue for the sky with the beige white as use in the original composition and switch the placement of the color for my sub dominant color as the the light blue for the water and the beige for the sand. The accent color will be the darker blue for the slipper to be a little focus point. Lastly will be the tree in the front, it had a little shade of the green to darker green. Or a little tint of the blue between the water and the sand on the left corner.
Work time: 1 hr 30 mins
Doing this project help me understand why picking the color for a theme is important. Color gives meaning to a project. This something I never thought of because when I think of color all the pops in my head is green, red and blue, but after doing this project I see that color is much more than that. This project helped train my eyes to see the difference in color when I see a portrait or picture. As well by placing complementary colors next to each other makes one another visually appear different.
For Phase 3, the colors I got inspired by making a scenario of the beach. From the original composition, it remained me of sand. I use light brown on top of the wood box and the sides dark brown to give it shade. Most of the composition has light brown. For the blues, I used the ocean and the sky as well. The dominant color is the light brown, the sub-dominant is the sea blue, the accent color is the white or the medium brown from the wood box.
Hours Worked: 1 Hour and a Half
I found this picture in the museum and i though it was really cool. I worked 2 hours on this.
I worked on this 4 hours on these. The design on the left is my logo.
In the Cooper Hewitt Museum, I looked through the big table with the giant screen collection they have in the current and old exhibition. This has caught my eye because of different shades of light brown. IN the background you could see a little bit of light blue and medium blue. This was done by Heatherwick Studios and Thomas Heatherwick in 2003, called Bleigiessen.
