Project 2- Vibrating Edges

I wanted to show the way that colors reacted when placed next to each other. I chose blue and orange to represent the vibrating edge. The design says 'pen' because I have been interested in the phrase "the pen is mightier than the sword."

Simultaneous Contrast

Project 1- Color Wheel

I chose the color blue for my first project because I really enjoyed the different shades I got out of mixing the paint. The blue also seemed very cool to me which relates back to the thing I was painting. 

Advancing and Receding Colors/ Successive Contrast

When cool colors are placed next to or surrounding warm colors, the warm hues appear to be closer to the viewer (to advance) whearase the cool hues appear farther away.

Color Usage in Only Lovers Left Alive

Color is used successfully in the film Only Lovers Left Alive by Jim Jarmusch. The cool colors in the first image have a relaxing feel to them. The slight difference in color make the figures stand out apart from the rest of the image. In the second picture, the colors are more warm and soft. They look inviting and draw the attention to the figures. The viewer's eye is drawn to the splash of red, which brings a sense of excitement to the viewer.
