Assignment 2 was based on utilizing a colour scenario to create a composition that would entail a sense of atmosphere, form and space. I was given a primary colour scenario to work with for this project. First, I created a simple nonobjective composition that would facilitate the colors. This composition was repeated four times on illustration board. From the primary scenario, I made 24 individual colors through tinting and shading, as well as making subtle shifts of a specific hue to create variation within the colors. Each panel would contain 6 different colors, for the 6 different shapes of the composition. My final composition and colour studies can be seen on the image below.
Once I had established my colour studies, I went on to composing the final image. This was done in a very unique manner for this project. We started with source imagery in the form of a chosen Piranesi image, which included preexisting atmosphere, form and deep space. In order to transform the image, we cropped, scaled, and flipped the image to our preferred choices in order to create a symmetrical image containing deep space, overlapping, scale shifts, and form. I did a graphite transfer of the image onto my final ground, but I did so by establishing a reductive image, creating simple shapes around the original image to design my own composition. Through numerous renderings, I reached a final composition that entailed a sense of atmosphere and special detail using shape based imagery.
The composition was further split into half, in order to create an atmospheric side and an abstract side. Each would contain a different colour agenda taken from the colour studies, in order to define space in varying methods. The goal was to use colour to create a shallow/abstracted space on one side, and a deep/atmospheric space on the other.
Using the colour studies established at the start of the project, I tinted and shaded the 24 colors to have more colour at hand to paint the two sides. The final image can be seen at the top.
Through this project, I learned about specific principles of colour, value and space:

Through this project, I learned about specific principles of colour, value and space:
- Intense colors push forward in space while dull colors pull back in space
- Warm colors advance in space while cooler colors recede in space
- Neutral colors are more likely to recede in space if they are less intense
- Colour and environment work hand in hand to create/not create depth and spacial detail
Overall, I am really happy with the way this project turned out. Although it was a challenge creating the spacial depth at first, I repainted areas in order to improve on it. Personally, I think the colour studies came out really well and definitely showcase the primary colour scenario in a sophisticated light.
