OUGD404 - Task 03 - Colour

We explored colour, shading and light in this session, the entire class had been split into 3 large groups. We were told the week before this session to turn up wearing something in the colour we were given and we were each told to bring in 5 separate items in the given colour, mine was blue, the other two groups had green and yellow. Everyone had brought 5 separate items and working in groups we began put all of the 'blue' items together.

First we began by putting them into a darker to lighter shade of blue scale, this was a little tricky because there were a lot of items to try and place in the correct shade, the scale went from a purple/dark blue to a very light blue. 

Then each group swapped over so we could make changes and decisions on the other groups work, we then returned back to our own tables to see the changes. 

Then working with the same items we started on a different scale, from warm to cold, so looking at each blue item we had to decide weather it was a warm blue or a cold blue. This proved very difficult because blue is already considered as a cold colour. Although we eventually worked out the scale eventually. 

Then leaving the items to one side, we began to look at all of the clotting we hd dressed up in to respond to our colour. We were then told as a group to scale ourselves from dark to light based on the shade of blue we were wearing. 

The session was very useful, i feel i have become more familiar with shading and how to work with colour in a scale.
