The colours of light.
I have copied 2 images from the web on colour wheels. the first is a quaint early 18th Century picture showing that even then we were interested in understanding the way colours work. As this is a photography course and in particular, a course reliant on digital media (certainly for those of us using digital cameras and Photoshop) I have opted to rely on a colour of light wheel although the concept of colour contrasts and harmonies relates to our perception of colour which transcends the actual medium. It is beyond the scope of this assignment to go into a theoretical discussion analysing how colours interact.
The assignment brief asks us to show a command of colour in photography by making use of the visual medium, photography. We have to explore colour relations through the harmony of complementary colours, similar colours and colour contrasts. We're also asked to explore colour accents through any of these relationships. To keep things simple (ha ha) I've decided to continue my approach of having themed assignments and this one will look at these relationships thru' photos of origami! So I'm off to build animal shapes of paper to photograph them for the assignment... see you in a bit. Ta-ta for now.
