I really enjoyed this assignment. Color and color schemes is a concept I have always been drawn to throughout various mediums and projects. I found myself drawn to the marble yard to capture my monochromatic scheme. The simplicity at first glance of the marble's color, yet with a deeper investigation you see the various stems and veins of minerals and other colors.
For my second color scheme I chose to post a complimentary color scheme. I know the assignment was to only post two schemes 'professor', but I had to post both of these :) I am always drawn to the Red/Green combination, its one of the most compelling and always dances before your eyes. The reason behind posting two, is because one is a naturally occurring and the other is man-made. I think its an interesting concept to juxtapose.

I like the image of the stack of marble to show monochrome! Where do you find such a place? It's interesting that even when photographing something that some might consider boring or "all the same" you can really pick up the differences. What a contrast to the image of the fire hydrant! I guess that contrast that comes from the red/green complementary color is exactly what they are aiming for in order to find the hydrants! Interesting when everyday objects start to jump out as we work our way through this class!
ReplyDeleteThe marble yard is at Gawet Marble, between Rutland and W.Rutland VT. Its such a haphazard places, pieces and stacks everywhere, I've always been drawn to stone and I wondered if I could 'pull it off' for this assignment. I'm hoping to use the site for assignments to come!
ReplyDeleteThese are great. I'm noticing how many of you guys have greyish monotones. LOVE the composition and the color of the complementary one nice!
