Project 3: Grids


Warm Colors
I chose the photo of balloons and saturated the color with a warm hue to show the exaggeration of warm colors, and then I made 4 rows with a flipped the balloons to create a swirly like pattern.

Cool Colors
I chose this photo of water droplets and then I made each photo a cool color, and made sure these photos would fade from green to purple (all the cool colors).
Complements
I chose this photo of a dramatic statue and made a color block for two rows onto up of a complement color for two rows and then added the last two rows of the original color.
Monochrome
I took a photo of a tree's leaves and made a kaleidoscope-like pattern with an overall muted orange color, so I kept it monochrome. 


Color Showing Mood
The goal for this photo, is showing a playful and happy feeling, like a sense joy.

Color Wheel



An Example of color setting mood is Daniel Beltra's photo of an aerial view of an oil spill. Even though the incident is horrible, the colors and pattern of the oil in the water creates a sense of mystery and adventure with the saturated tones of aqua and teal contrasted with the complementary color of orange. The shot is so abstract, yet so real. This photograph is truly showing a mystical sense to reality with an adventurous feeling.
