Color theory

feeling, smudges and all. Time, though already incorporated with the aforementioned ‘timestamps’, tied itself closely with the color of each piece. Because of the nature of charcoal, most of the pieces are in black and white monochrome, with the exception of Stereoscope in which blue is added. Black and white pieces create a classic throwback to old-fashioned television, where color was not available yet. Not only are Kentridge’s pieces in black and white, they’re animated! It’s as if they were…

of blue compliment the color of the deer. In the middle of the painting there is a small strip of light blue…

Painting is basically the application of color or pigments to any solid surface to make it more appealing to the public eye. Nowadays, it is probably safe to claim that people cannot do away with it especially if they want anything to stand out. Buildings and establishments use it for additional glamour. Homeowners use it for an added design to the interior and exterior parts of their home. Even their garage doors are painted in a beatuful hue that would attract a second look. Since paints…

What is the aesthetic element? Color is an aesthetic element that covers the aspect of light caused by reflection. To see color, you have to have light. When light shines on an object, colors bounce off the object and others are absorbed by it. Our eyes see colors that are bounced off or reflected. Color is an important aspect of any production. Color adds a descriptive element to a movie. Although there has been several successful movies in black and white, color gives the viewer a better…

I used four types of brushes throughout my painting that included: a round brush, a pointed round brush, a flat brush and a bright brush. Some techniques I used throught my painting included: blocking color; to get original shape, layers; in the sky and trees, intensified and contrasted my colors, several brush stroke sizes, and informational brush strokes to create a soft texture. My main focus on my painting was the van and the trees. The van needed detail more than anything else in the…

Color constancy “refers to the fact that the perceived color of an object is not a simple function of the wavelengths reflected by it” (Pinel, 2014, pg. 149). Color constancy is often misunderstood, however, an easy way to think of color constancy is the distinction that the same object is the same color regardless of the lighting. For example, you know an object is red even though, it appears to be a different color under different lighting environments. It had been said that color constancy is…

Charles Blanc further developed Chevreul’s theories. Having come to the conclusion that placing complementary colors next to each other intensifies them and that mixing complementary colors together muddies the color, he is known to have said that complementary colors “will either triumphantly sustain or utterly destroy each other.” Looking at A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, we can see evidence of these complementary color theories. The seated girl with the ponytail in the…

Have you ever wondered why we see illusions in different ways or why we say a word instead of a color? The Stroop Effect shows that something is going on in our brain. But what does it tell us about our brain’s ability to process colors, words, and illusions? Is it something that happened during development or is there something that happens in our brain when we look at illusions? The Stroop Effect is named after John R. Stroop, who discovered this phenomenon in 1935. The Stroop Effect states…

We chose to make light orange. According to the RGB system, using the color triangle, it is called (.75, .2, .05). We can also conclude that light orange has a greater saturation and hue of red than green and blue. Using the saturation method, we subtracted .2 from each RGB value and got (.55, 0, .15). By figuring out the color position, we looked at the fraction of the red and greens light orange has; .75R and .2G. In order to find out the fraction of blue, we used the equation 1 = r+ g +b…
