Burden, 2016 Video
In a short film about the late artist, Chris Burden, many of his pieces and exhibits evoke particular meaning or emotion. In my interpretation, his methods could only be considered expressive as well as a new way to look at 3D sculptures.
In Burden’s “5 Day Locker Piece”, Burden explores the capabilities of himself by sort of caging himself in a locker. This experiment was essentially the beginning of what would be his further analysis of 3D posture and expression.
This piece was important to me because it tests the limits of form during the time and with Burden, his work could only progress and contort erratically.
Major Project 1: Self Portrait
In this assignment, the student is required to choose one color and illustrate a self portrait. This self portrait is supposed to show several tints and tones of that chosen color.
With my chosen color, blue, I was able to illustrate a self portrait with seven or more tones and tints of said blue. What works really well here is my overall ability to compose a multi-toned and vibrant design with various shades. This self portrait took me nearly 8 hours to start and finish, but I’m still satisfied with the outcome despite my poor handling with a brush. What could’ve worked better was my color coordination as well as which shades and tints go where. Nonetheless, I look forward to doing more with color and getting better with my paints.
Exercise 4: Color Contrast and Perfect Neutrals
In this assignment, the student is required to replicate a design a composition four times and demonstrate the use of cool, warm, 2/3 warm to cool, and 2/3 cool to warm. The second half is to use opposite colors in order to create grays.
Exercise 3: Tint, Tone, Shade
In this exercise, using the color tree theory, we test the tint, tone, and shade of two colors. Yellow and blue are the two colors used to test this theory.

Color Test and Theory
An easy way to remember ‘ROYHBIV’ is to think of Roy G. Biv. However, a way to remember this concept is to think of React Or You Have Bad Illustrative Vision. This pertains to the artists requirement to interpret or react in the presence of color, or else they’d end up interpreting what they see incorrectly.
In the topic of color blindness, a few other celebrities are color considered colorblind. Brennan Mejia and Neil Harbisson.
Logically, a person who is colorblind is prohibited from piloting due to the fact that they’ll be seeing flashing lights of distinct colors such as red and green. Much like what you’d see on a Boeing or on a private jet.
Also in the topic of color blindness, I’ve decided to investigate my own vision and make sure that there are no abnormalities when perceiving color.
My first test was on https://enchroma.com where I ended up taking two tests which both ended up to be normal color vision
The second attempt ended up with the same result.
My third color test was on https://www.xrite.com where I took a color hue test, which resulted in perfect chromatic vision or no abnormalities in the way I perceive color.
Color Scales
The following is the color scale for yellow, orange, carmine , red, and blue. These colors are ranging from darker to lighter (tone and tint), while showing the percentages for these values.
