Colour Induction
In preparation for today we drew 4 simple
line drawings of a still life, with around 25 block areas, and made a colour
wheel, mixing the primary colours into the secondary ones, and also mixing a
black.
We were made to paint new colour wheels
using the 4 printing colours, CYMK, instead or more primary colours. We found
them to be brighter and the secondary colours less muddy.
We then painted each of our drawings in the
following ways, attempting to create space and depth:
1.
Grey scale - different shades
of grey to give depth
2.
Colour - warm and cold colours
to give depth. Also play with light and dark. I found that warm comes forward
and cold moves backwards, and that light comes forward and dark recedes
3.
Complimentary colours - we used
different shades complimentary colours to create depth
4.
Texture - we used a mix of
different methods to create the illusion of depth
To be honest, I felt like I wasn’t being
challenged at all today, I feel like I haven’t learned anything at all, that I
didn’t already know innately. These are things that people with artistic and
creative talent know already, without even having to say it, and everyone I
talked to was bored and confused as to why we were making colour wheels.
