Moody Blues Exercise
Major Project 2: Dubai
In this project, the student is required to create a composition or a brochure based on a city that is not a part of the United States.
The first phase involves doing some research about said city and figuring out the color keys associated with the respected landmarks.
The final phase involves a final product that encompasses the essence of our chosen city. Using 4-6 colors, the final product must be in 11×17 (tabloid) size and must be able to accurately depict the city as well as having expressed a generous typeface to compliment the design. My biggest success within my design was being able to capture some essence of Dubai while also being able to capture complex colors between tan and blues. My biggest gripe was the typeface, and the intricate design not being able to be complementing my design as smooth as it should. Overall, the project was a success and would love to do something similar to this.

Each photo depicted shows the relation to one color as well as the association to one another on the color wheel.
The first example of color is actually a value, which is considered to be achromatic.

The second is monochromatic, which is relating to the use of one color as well as its tints and tones.

The third example consists of multiple colors. this called polychromatic.

The fourth example is refers to complementary colors on the color wheel.

The fifth example is split complementary. The whole idea is that split complementary makes an acute triangle shape across the color wheel.

The sixth example refers to double complementary. This means four hues combines as well as them being neighbors.

The seventh example refers to three hues that are equally spaced out around the color wheel.

The eighth example refers to two neighboring color, especially when they’re directly next to each other on the color wheel. These are called analogous colors.

The ninth example refers to tetradic colors. This creates a sort of square shape in the color wheel and includes the hues that are shown in the square.

The tenth example refers to colors that do not exactly correspond with the natural order of tonal value which become juxtaposed. This is called Discordance.

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.
