Color and Symbolism - Influential Factors

http://www.colormatters.com/sym2.html


COLOR SYMBOLISM:

Pick five different shapes and apply the same color to each to see the influence a shape has on a color.

The quantity and placement of the color:

Place a small square of any color inside of a larger square, and then using a second large box place within side of that box another box of the same color as the small box that you used in your first box. Refer to color matters website under quantity and placement.

The Color combination:

Pick three sets of two colors that you think of different associations . For example green and red for Christmas.


NOTE: only put your shapes of the same color on a black background.

Lemon Assignment

The next assignment is to look very closely at a lemon and paint the colors that you see. Remember the lemon has many shades and values of yellow.

Color and Nature

Nature provides a perfect departure point for color harmony. In the illustration above, red yellow and green create a harmonious design, regardless of whether this combination fits into a technical formula for color harmony.

ASSIGNMENT:

Read Chapter 6, Page 144 about color in Nature and Culture.

Then, select an image of a scene from "Nature" and use it as the basis for an abstract artwork similar to the one above.

Project due Wednesday November 10

Neutral Color Assignment

Neutral (NOO-trul) colors don't usually show up on the color wheel. Neutral colors include black, white, gray, and sometimes brown and beige. They are sometimes called “earth tones.”

Circus by Georges Seurat

In Circus, Georges Seurat uses many different neutral colors. You can see a few glimpses of red, blue, and yellow in this painting. But the overall effect is of natural brown and gray colors, like those you might see in rocks or in sand, dirt, and clay.

There are a few different ways to make neutral colors. You can blend black and white to make gray. You can create brown in two ways—by blending two complementary colors together, or by blending all three primary colors together.



Neutralize by choosing a high-intensity (bright) color and neutralizing (dulling it) by adding: Black, white, gray, and its complement


ASSIGNMENT: Make three rectangle boxes and place a complementary color on each end of each box. Then, blend each color until you get a neutral color in the middle.

The above project will be due Wednesday November 10, 2010

Color Scheme Assignment

Above image done by Andy Warhol and titled "Flowers" and made in 1990.

MORE ABOUT ANDY WARHOL

http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Warhol







Create seven images (four flower shapes) like those created by Andy Warhol on page 66. You should develop one color scheme for each of your seven images from the color schemes outlined on page 66:

• Monochrome: variation on a single hue
• Analogous Colors: adjacent hues on the color wheel
• Triadic Colors: three colors equally spaced on the color wheel
• Complementary Colors: opposites on the color wheel
• Vibrating Colors: a sense of flickering light at the edge
• Melting colors: soft boundary or edge
• Earth Colors: browns, ochres, and so on

Course Description:

A fundamental course exploring theory and color in the visual arts.

GAINING COMPETENCE in any art form is to a large extent a matter of cumulative experience. It takes time and regular application. An advantage of a studio course is that a student can observe the progress of projects being worked on by the other students. For these reasons regular and punctual attendance is expected. Three absences are considered excessive. If personal circumstances force you to drop, it is your responsibility to initiate the procedure.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is course focusing on the creative interpretation of subject matter utilizing a variety of experimental, as well as traditional, techniques and media color and design class in the practice of using art materials for creative interpretation of subject matter. Using a variety of experimental as well as traditional drawing techniques and media will be used. Combining theoretical elements and practical experience students will explore in various drawing mediums such as colored pencils, paint and pastel. Students should also gain knowledge of line, shape, value, perspective, proportion, volume, and composition.

CLASS PROJECTS:
There will be approximately 1-2 projects every week, with lecture/discussion at the beginning of every class. There will also be several in class assignments, and students are expected to keep a sketchbook. A class schedule of assignments and due dates are to be posted on the blog. Please check it daily for updates.

500 points – 400 = D
400 points – 200 = F
