Colour Definition Post

Definition Post

The property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way it reflects or emits light. 

Describing words: Bright, Dark, Tone, Bold, Shade

This photo caught my eye because the colour differences between the greyscale of the pencils and the multi coloured tips of the pencil. It also stood out from all the other photos when choosing because of the colour differences. 

This colour wheel has been made up of multiple small objects, then painted to form an actual colour wheel. I chose this because it shows all the colours the human eye can see.                 

These coloured bands, are very in your face with their colour, it stands out and looks fun, exciting and a mess. 

I thought this photo looked really cool, the mix between the two colours or lack of looks really nice and fun to look at. 

My Definition: Colour gives life to objects, by giving them either bright, bold colours or dark, shallow colours. 

Colour Image Bank

The photo above shows quite a few people sitting in what looks like paint, every person in covered in paint, this photo clearly shows what life is like in different cultures, the use of bright colours gives you a sense of emotion and atmosphere to what it would feel like to take part in this picture. 

In this image, the artist has created this effect of a rainbow flower, using the oculars of the rainbow they are creating this effect of life and happiness. The colours add to the life in the picture as it represents whats it's like to be surrounded by nature.   

The colours of the sweets are bright and fun, this photo reminds you what it's like to be a child surrounded by sweets, it brings joy through bright colours and overall is an exciting picture to look at. 

In this image each crayon is sorted into colours, from the left is purple going through blue, green, yellow and then to red, this goes through the colour wheel using crayons, along with the formal element colour this picture also uses pattern. 

  

This picture takes the concept of a colour wheel and adds objects to it, from the picture we can see in each section is a varied amount of objects of different shapes and sizes. This is a unique take on the colour wheel, in some places of this image pattern is used but mainly colour is used. 

This photo uses selective colour to highlight the tips of these pencils, this makes the photo look really good, it catches the eye as the photo itself is bland excuses the obvious colour but because of the colour in the centre of the picture it drags the viewers eyes more and it's almost as if you're attracted to the photo. 

Colour Work Diary

Work Diary

In this session we went out and took photos on the topic colour in a way i found this difficult because I had to find objects or areas that represented just colour and nothing else, sometimes the photo wouldn't look like it was just for colour but perhaps for lines. I did still enjoy this though as I found loads of different ideas and ways of taking photos of colour. 

 I really like this photo, I like the way the pink contrast off of the white and that is where your eyes are drawn. The colours involved really stand out as there isn't a lot going on in the photo apart from the three planks of wood painted different colours giving a nice warm look.

This is my favourite photo of the session, this cluster of colour look really pretty and chaotic. I think it's a fun photo and full of life, your eyes skim all over it to process the amount of colour, the close up of the image removes any unnecessary background distractions.

If i was able to improve or continue with this project I would have focused on article colours instead of natural colours, so something I could change if I want to. Just like the wires, as I could change that if I wanted to.
