In the three images that are included below, examine the role that color plays in helping us to decode or understand what is being conveyed in each.
In the first image the bright, high chroma colors are contrasted with the glowing black background. Think of other artists that have employed this technique. What sort of response does this elicit form the viewer? |
In Simkins’ image of warrior birtds, the colors are softer and warmer. How does this color treatment affect our understanding of this image?
In Gannis’ recreation of “The garden of Earthly Delights” colors are sharp and flat. What else treats color this way? Does the use of cartoony colors add or subtract from the seriousness of the image, especially compared to Simkins’ image? |
