Thanks for the great semester, Professor Jenna. You taught us so much and I had a lot of fun with these projects. Also, a shoutout to all the wonderful, talented people I met in this class; we all did an awesome job and learned so much and had a blast along the way!! Happy holidays and a happy New Year !!

Project 6 Phase 3: Color Harmony

This was my favorite project this semester. Not only was I able to use everything I had learned in the last couple of months in one big project, but I was also given the freedom to do an illustration of my own. The color proportion inventory is an amazing tool to creating and studying color palettes of images and stills and that is definitely something I plan to do more of in my spare time. I wish I had a little more time to do the illustration though because looking back on it I see somethings that I could  have changed or even a different image I could have presented that had a more accurate representation of certain proportions. All in all this was definitely the best project in my opinion. I’m very glad I made the decision of continuing into Phase 3.

This project had to do a lot with the illusions that colors can make and I feel like the best part about it was seeing not only what kind of tricks we could play on our own eyes but also the combinations that other people chose and how they chose to pair colors up to make illusions. Something I liked about this project was Phase 3 when we were paired up and had to work together to not only make a color/symbol pair that represented a different person, but create one that fit with ours. It was really cool to see the other people’s images of you represented in color and symbols. I wish we had more time to work with that app during Phase 1. I feel like there was a lot more I could have learned through those apps and I am looking forward to getting them for myself.

This was the first time I was able to study color as a subject. As an architecture student in the past I was never able to experiment with things like paint or hues and I found it insanely freeing and informative to work with this concept as well as this medium. Since it was my first time using paint, specifically gouache paint, it was a little weird to learn how to use the paint and my craft wasn’t what I expected it to be at times, but the more I practiced the better I got and now I’m determined to use the paint as a medium for things in the future.

This project made me really use my eye muscles. At first it was difficult to see a change in value or hue. After training my eyes,  and knowing more about the theory of color, it was easier to identify. This skill will definitely help me out in the future projects and gives me a more open mind when it comes to color. Everything isn’t always what it seems, Thanks Professor Jenna.

Color Harmony: Phase 4

First of all, thank you Professor Spevack for your knowledge and patience with the class. I am grateful to have had you this semester, and to have learned so many new things about the artistic world around me. I have learned so many new fancy art words, new ways to look at figures and colors, and new ideas & concepts, which has changed my perception of how to think and use detail, how to assemble a project, and how to use new art tools.

For this project, we were taught how to use colors together—proportionally—in comparison to our last project, where we used colors to compare.

Phase 1 had us looking for progression of colors in nature or within our immediate surroundings. I used the manga books on my bookcase, and got the chance to re-admire the artwork of my older books. Phase 2 was were the extra fun part starts; we captured the colors of an image and created a lengthy title for a rectangle of colors (proportional color inventory). I really enjoyed this part of the project, I even said out loud, “I could do this all day!”

Phase 3 — though optional, it deserves to be done. I created a natural scenery using the same proportions of my image from phase 2. It made me really think on how to execute this piece using the same amount of color as the inventory created.

Through this project, I’ve learned new colors (which is always awesome) and a new way to see a change between colors and shade (black) or tint (white).

 

*Added note: All this work and creative designing has rekindled my love for art. Thank you!!

Color Interaction Pairings: Phase 4

Overall this project was really fun as well. I enjoyed working in photoshop for phase 2 the most mainly because it really felt like I knew what I was doing. Working with complements eventually led to me being able to make one color look like two different colors which was extremely satisfying. I remember constantly checking if I put the right color in the center only to see that it was the same color.

Saturation Studies: Phase 4

  • This project was pretty fun. I’m not the best painter obviously but working with color is way better and more satisfying than working with just black and white and gray. I made alot of mistakes while painting, streaking being the main issue. And mid-way through I ran out of glue so I had to switch to rubber cement. I was extremely careless with the rubber cement, and it made things more messy than they needed to be. The collage itself has other flaws, such as the remaining white space I tried to make 2×2 inch squares so I could have 9 squares in total for the 6×6 composition but I wasn’t careful enough and it led to some remaining space.
