Jewelry Design vol.6 – One Year 2018 (a.l.y)

In this week, we learned about the most common things in our lives—colors. We started by learning the color wheels.

And then we watched a movie on scientist perspectives of colors. Elementary, secondary and tertiary colors.

We learned about analogous colors which are colors located next to each other on the color wheels. Those colors create a sense of harmony and pleasing to the eye. Here is one example, Waterlilies by Claude Monet in 1914.

Also in Mrs. Marquise de Pompadour by Francois Boucher, he chose blue, purple and splashes of red which are harmonious and pleasant to the eye.

Following with effects of the composition of colors. Shown in II Parlamento by Claude Monet in 1904. During the Renaissance, artists have used the atmospheric perspective to create depth in their landscapes.

We also learnt artist that used only specific color to paint. For example, the Austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt. Famous in using yellow color to represent warmth, love and passion.

Antonio Canova was an Italian Neoclassical sculptor, famous for his marble sculptures. His creations are mainly found in white.

Purple is a significant color to Italians. It is seen often related to the church. It is also the colors of the soccer team.

Giovanni Boldini was an Italian genre and portrait painter. He is famous for the Lady in Pink.
