During this project, I learned about the relationships between different colors and how these relationships can work to enhance or dull the presence of each color depending on their positioning. I believe that I maintained a good understanding of the progression of colors in tints, shades, and color transitions. The understanding of these three topics helped me to find a good example of color harmony during our trip to the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum and gave me the opportunity to use these color relationships to recreate them in my own fashion. So overall, I believe I encountered and digested a great amount of knowledge and potential from this project.

Owe’neh Bupingeh Preservation Project & Proportional Color Inventory
Summer
For this Free-Study composition, I decided to use my proportional color inventory to create a beach scene which I have named “Summer”. For this composition, I wanted my dominant color to be the blue hue I obtained from the sky in the original picture. I also decided to use the yellow accent to cause contrast in the composition and bring the viewers eye to the figure in the composition, which would be the man on the floating tube. After that, I wanted to use the sub-dominant shades of beige to be next to the water as a secondary figure. I also positioned it to be in the lower-right corner because I believe that this is where the eye is least likely to look first and thus leave the attention to the primary figure in the top-left. I also gave the beach coast a descending feeling by organizing the shades to grow darker as they approach the end of the composition and continue outside the page.

Owe’neh Bupingeh Preservation Project
During my visit to the museum, I happened to have encountered this exhibit and found that image as a composition to be interesting. I liked how the sky in this picture makes a clear contrast with the pueblo and helps it to pop out at the viewer by sinking into the background with a darker value. I also like the value contrast between the pueblo walls and its shadows, which causes the eye to be drawn to it. Because of these details in the composition, I learned about how important the positioning of two different colors can be in a composition.

Shade Progression – Bugatti Veyron Grand
In this picture, a Bugatti Veyron Grand is displayed in black and crimson. I believe this serves as good shade progression because of the close relation of shade between the two colors. On the car, you can see some light tints where the light hits the car, but as you look at where the color meets the black parts of the car, the division of color is clean while the red is still turning darker as it gets closer up to a point.
Color Progression – Eyeball
This picture uses the human eye as an example of good color-to-color progression. I believe that this is a worthy example becase of how the blue and orange segments of the iris are separate at opposite ends of the iris and begin to mix as they meet in the center line of the iris.
Tint Progression – Flamingo
This flamingo serves as a good example of tint progression because of how its feathers fade to a whiter tint as they progress towards the back of the bird. The reason a flamingo feather has any color is because of all of the shrimp that they eat as they grow up. The shrimp that they digest causes their feathers to absorb the pigment of the shrimp, gradually turning their feather from white to pink.

Two-Color Progression
Tint Progression
Shade Progression
In the first picture, it demonstrates two-color becauseĀ in the reptile you canĀ see theĀ orange and little bit of yellow. The second picture demonstrates Tint Progression, because you can an orange fog but it gradually turns to a white. In the last picture, it demonstrates Shade Progression, because the sunset goes from an orange and gradually turns to a black.
This project is about the Harlem hospital center, 192,000 squared foot, shows off its highly advanced technological building design. The high curtain performance wall known as a facade,Ā replicates 3 panels from a Works Progress Administration mural that depicts scenes from the African diaspora story.

Two color progression
This picture is Two color progression because it’s going from Orange to a bit more yellowish
Tint progression
This picture is tintĀ progression because the rose is going from Red to more white.
Shade progression
This picture has a Shade progression because it’s more purple but the blue is more darker, and more dominant.

Jeremy, Ely, and Myself decided to create a composition along the lines of a Christmas theme. As you can see these are gingerbread people, who are all In action in some way. All of the colors match each of our personalities really well, that is what’s really cool about this whole thing. All of the symbols used were thought out, and these were the best ones that fit into what we wanted to create.
This is a project responding to migrant deaths along the Arizona-Mexico border due to dehydration, Humane Borders designed a system for placing water in the desert. More than 100 water stations, small tanks painted blueāthe universal color of waterāand tagged āAGUAā with a 30-foot-high pole and flag to increase visibility, have been deployed throughout southern Arizona, dispensing more than 100,000 gallons of water since 2001. A poster outlining the dangers of migrating on foot through the desert is distributed in shelters south of the border.
