Painting I- OLIVER
Assignment 3
(Due: Monday, 9/23)
POETIC/UNEXPECTED COLOR
OBJECTIVES:
- Explore the possibilities of unusual/unexpected color
in communicating psychological, emotional,
or
provocative interpretations of imagery
- Consider the connection between the artist’s
conceptual meaning VS the viewer’s interpretation of the work
- Learn the use of a grid as a way to transfer/enlarge
imagery
- Interpret value in relationship to color
MATERIALS:
- THREE or more choices of images (black and white ONLY!!).
These can be images you took, or appropriated from another source. Your
choice of imagery can be simple, but I want you to consider WHAT COLOR one
would expect in this image, and how you can manipulate these colors to
alter the psychology or narrative.
- You will be using a BLACK & WHITE images that you will then ADD COLOR! Keep the images relatively simple.
- You will be making your final painting on a full-sized
sheet of watercolor paper
- Color choice OPEN, but you MUST
use color in unexpected ways!
- Bring in a ruler, pencil, and straightedge (if your
ruler is short). I suggest a quilters ruler/square.
- Glue or glue stick
QUESTIONS TO
CONSIDER:
- Is this a personal feeling/ state-of-being or does it
read as more objective (about someone else, friend, family, stranger,
society etc.)?
- Are you using CLICHÉ imagery or color?
- Do you genuinely care about or feel interested in your
ideas?
- Is this an image that will clearly be read as “unusual/unexpected” color?
- What are the “expected
colors” for this image? Are there several ways that changing the color
will affect the concept of the image?
- Do you care whether or not the viewer understands your
concept? (You do not have to say yes!)
- Do you have a clear idea of what the change of color
means to you?
