Color Interactions: Phase 4

Phase 1

Phase 2

Phase 3

 

These color interactions studies have taught me a lot about the ways colors interact with each other and how they can influence what we perceive them as. Phase 2 in this project helped to really open my eyes to how placing two colors together can create the illusion of darkening, lightening, tinting, and even giving a different color an outline. I definitely enjoyed phase 3 of this project, especially with choosing the colors with my partner and making their logo. What interests me the most is how the logo looks like two completely different colors on their respective backgrounds; I really feel like I learned a lot about colors and the way they interact with each other through this project.

Color Interaction:Phase 2

Time Taken: 2Hrs

Saturation Studies: Phase 4

Although painting isn’t my cup of tea, I actually had some fun completing this project. It allowed me to test out different colors throughout the color wheel, in which it also helped me learn several new concepts. Some of the key terms I learned were complementary, which means the color across from another color on the wheel. An example of this would be blue, the complementary of blue is orange. Some other terms I learned about are called muted, saturation, and chromatic. This project helped to expand my definition of art, it sure is something that I would do again sometime.

Tint Progression

Shadow Progression

The first image shows two-color progression because of the green has different tones that turn into black.  The tint progression shows the sunset, the tint shows the yellow orange colors, they are analogous. The shade progression shows the clouds white then turning darker, to medium black.

Color Interaction Pairings: Phase 4

What I learned in this project is the color value and saturation. For instance, the color is the same in a composition but it appears different because of its influence color and the saturation. What I would like to retry again would be Group 4 Shifting Hue and Value, it was very challenging for me to see and make the hue different from one another. For our next project, I would use the color wheel and know the complimentary of each color.

Color Harmony: Phase 1

Two Color Progression

This picture had two color progression because the flower had changed its color from magenta to pink.

Tint Progression

The orange had made a tint progression as it gets closer to the bottom. The orange had become more desaturated with white.

Shade Progression

This picture had a shade progression because the blue had become more desaturated toward  black as it get closer to the upper left corner.
