I finished my first week as 3rd Quarter! Our classes are awesome this quarter, and I'm super stoked to be diving into such great stuff.
One of my teachers is teaching us Color for Photographers, which is pretty much Color Harmonies and what colors go together and the message they get across and all that jazz.
Anyhow, she's having us keep a "Color Journal" of our realizations and observations about our "Color Lives."
It's been very interesting so far. I bought a journal today for it, and the first thing I wrote about was movies.
Once you're given this information, you start to see things you didn't see before.
I have noticed that every movie I like, are all the same when it comes to coloration. All very dull, low saturation and low contrast, lots of blue undertones. Not very lively at all. Yet, I'm somehow okay with that. I like the look that these casts give the mood of the movies.
Next, I wrote about my clothes.
Everything I own is blue. Or pink (/off pink... Coral, those types of colors). I feel so cliche for wearing what is the majority of peoples' favorite color. It gets my gears going, I guess.
We'll see what else I'll discover about my color life! I'm thinking I'll write about my makeup choices next. Haha
I'm also in the process of making a... very interesting piece for my Product Illustration class. It involves aluminum foil, lots of hard work, and a ballerina. I'll upload the finished product Monday ;)
