Analagous

 Complementary 

Monocromatic

Monocromatic 2

1. Coming into this project, I had never used a camera except for the one on my phone. So obviously, through this project, I have learned a lot about how to use a camera. In addition, at the beginning of this project, I knew very little and was uncomfortable with photoshop. By the end, I felt competent and able to express my artistic thoughts through this medium. I used my skills of observation to see the nuance and details in the photo which led to better decisions in the final artwork.

2. The expressive quality of red allowed for me to use wavy shapes to evoke a feeling of fire. The rhythmic quality in my opinion of green allowed for me to mimic this in my design choice. The qualities of rhythm and, of course, complementary, analogous and monochromatic influences =d my color choice.

3. After this project, I feel like I can look at a color and think about the analogous, monochromatic, and complementary colors. In the projects to come I am sure I will draw upon this knowledge to make better color based choices.
