We learn new skills in each project which we are then able to apply in future assignments.
In this project I learned how to stretch a canvas, a skill which I.
will use in all future paintings, and also how to create very emotional work through color. .
Up until this unit I thought landscape painting was a boring and lesser art, but this unit.
helped me see that color can make anything exciting.
Essential Quesiton:.
How can color create emotion?.
First of all color combinations, such as those we learned through our color theory.
unit, can really add excitement to your painting. In mine I used split complimentary.
colors, colors which appear on opposite sides of the color wheel. I painted the sky blue,.
and then added yellow to the curtains. I made the hills green, and the curtains red. The.
cow is white, while the sleeve is black. These contrasts create excitement since.
complimentarty colors make eachother appear brighter and stand out more. I also used.
analogous colors. The blue in the sky and the purlple sleeve are analogous, meaning that.
they appear next to each other on the color wheel. Color can create emotion in other less.
technical ways as well. It can be manipulated by the artist to express his personal feelings.
towards the subject. For example if it is something he doesnt like he could use violent.
colors or colors which he doesnt like. If he does like it he could use vibrant colors, or his.
favorite hues. The possibilities are endless.
Higher Thinking:.
In this time, it is difficult to tell what is art and what is not art. Many new artists create.
such abstract pieces, such as a pile of broken glass, which is considered art by some and.
not by others. Just like these pieces of art are quite controversial in our time, so was.
Fauvism in the 1900's. It was more abstract and primitive than anything ever seem, and.
many of the paintings seemed like a child had drawn them. But what makes Fauvism truly.
art is the ability of the Fauvusts to capture emothion througjh their mastery of color.
