found colour wheel
overview: In this project, we will be creating our own ‘colour wheel’ using everyday objects in our environment. The way that you construct the colour wheel is up to you. Be sure to look at the instructions below so your colour wheel has all of the requirements. what you have to do: follow the instructions! you may lose marks for not getting things done as listed below. 1 First, plan out the parts you have to have in your colour wheel A colour wheel has primary colours: blue, red and yellow A colour wheel has secondary colours: green, orange and purple A colour wheel has tertiary colours: blue/green, yellow/orange… there are 6 of these. 2 How many different objects will you need? There are 12 colours = at least 12 objects but there could be a lot more!!! The colour wheel should have a balance of colour - not too heavy of one colour (ex. too many blues) 3 Where will you find your objects? - in the pantry, in the junk drawer, in the bathroom, recycling bin, refrigerator? 4 How will you take the picture of your colour wheel? Will your objects lay flat on the surface or could you arrange it sculpturally? 5 Find a way to stabilize your camera/phone so the pictures are in focus. 6 Make sure you think about the best lighting when setting up your picture. part two -yup, wait, there is more! Now that you have all of your objects I would like you to take a selection of them and build a new image- a circle within a circle. Our artist of inspiration is Wassily Kandinsky, a Russian born artist who pioneered abstract art in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. You will be recreating ONE of the ‘squares with concentric circles’. con·cen·tric /kənˈsentrik/
Wassily Kandinsky - in 1913 Kandinsky painted ‘Farbstudie Quadrate’, or in English, ‘Squares with Concentric Circles’. “Perhaps, Kandinsky's most recognizable work, is not actually a full-fledged picture. This drawing is a small study on how different colour combinations are perceived that the painter used in his creative process as a support material. For Kandinsky, colour meant more than just a visual component of a picture. Colour is its soul. In his books, he described his own perspective on how colours interacted with each other and with the spectator in detail and very poetically. Moreover, Kandinsky was a synaesthete, i.e. he could ‘hear colours’ and ‘see sounds.” From https://www.wassilykandinsky.net/ what you have to do: 1 Kandinsky’s circles are concentric - they share the same center. You will have to construct at least four circles that share the same center. In the sample below I used five objects = five circles that share the same center. 2 Think about the background ‘square’ colour and be creative in making it a colour as well. 3 Kandinsky did use black and white. You can too but there must be colour! 4 When taking your photograph, crop the background so the image concentrates on the circle. Center your middle so it looks like a bullseye of a target. 5 After you shoot and are happy with the images, create a .pdf file so the page is 8.5” x 11”. Set the pages to landscape or portrait depending on what best suits your images. - Page 1: your colour wheel photo - Page 2: your concentric circles image. 6 Submit your 2 page .pdf on Friday June 5th. Please submit work to [email protected] What are you marked on: -How much effort did you put into selecting the objects of colour? -How much effort did you put into setting up the objects to be recorded in each of the photographs? -How is the lighting and picture quality? -Did you follow the instructions listed above?
