Carrie Burgoon: Color Contrast Blog

1. My first thought is, wow there is a lot going on in this picture between the colors and the lines. There is a lot of contrast in the image that's for sure.  I first notice the rolls of duct tape since there is the negative space in the middle, then I see the pile of paints. I like this picture because it is so lively and happy. Also it is very spontaneous. 

2. In this picture there is a pile of paints. The colors range anywhere from blue, red and yellow to green, black and white. There is also two rolls of duct tape on the sides of the pile, which sits in the middle of the picture. There is a teal or turquoise roll on the viewers left and a hot pink roll on the right. In the background you see a material covered with many vibrant colors arranged in different sized stripes.

3. Like I said before, the composition sits in the middle and shows many different colors from the color wheel throughout the picture. The lines from the material lead your eye to the pile of paints, the lines towards the top lead your eye across the picture plane.

4. This picture tells of a young girl artist. The sheets in the background tell us that this is  definitely a young ladies bed and we see the cluttered paints showing she must be a painter or an artist and that she might not be the most organized person. I would call this picture "Unique."

5. My image relates to Paul Cezanne's drawings and paintings in one specific way, he paints pictures of piles of bright colored fruit and my picture isn't quite fruit like him but there is a group of colorful paints.
