Investigating Colour.

Objective

In order for you to fully explore the combinations of colours that you could potentially use in your design, you must try your latest idea in various colour schemes.

Task

Take your latest ideas and colour it using colour scheme ideas. This could include:

Monochromatic, complementary, analogous and triadic. There are many more examples - high saturation, low saturation with spot colour. It's up to you.
If you want to attempt your own schemes, you are welcome.

*Please ensure that the colour choice you make for your final pieces is included in the examples that you create.

Presentation

Post to your presentation with an explanation of what and why you have done this. You should also point out the most successful version and explain why.

Checklist for assessment

Can we tell straight away that you have consciously used colour?

Below is Michael's A* example.

Exploring media

Exploring media

In a nutshell, make your design. Just see how it goes.

It is very important that you are influenced by the artist you have just studied in SOME way. You may wish to incorporate another - linked! - artist / designer / photographer and do another small investigation.

For this task, you will have time to develop your ideas by exploring different media. You should attempt to choose a technique or medium that is similar to one that you have mainly been using. For example, if you have begun to create a photography-based artefact, choose more photography developments that show that you can move an idea along, that you are playful and creative.

Look in my books and on Pinterest for ideas.

By the end of this section, your idea should have moved along considerably and you should be breaking new ground.

Please have fun, work hard, and be playful. Honestly, you will get marks for being courageous as well as skilful.

Explain your personal response and criticise and analyse their work. Use the relevant questions on the LOOKING AT ARTEFACTS sentence starters sheet to help your questioning and responses.
