Color Theory: Advancing/Receding & Vibration

Advancing/Receding:

Colours have advancing (means they appear closer) or receding (means appear farther away) quality. In other words, intense, brighter, warm (red, yellow, orange) colours come forward but less intense, cool (blue, green, purple) colours and darker values recede into the background.

Vibration:

Here is the theory; "Adjacent colours will vibrate if they are highly saturated (vivid) and roughly the same value (brightness or intensity)" But the vibration effect would be pronounced more with the complementary colours (the colours sitting opposite to each other in the colour wheel).

The first one above is my example for advancing/receding part and the second one is for vibration. I think vibration works well, but I am not sure whether I've achieved the goal for the first part or not. What u think?

Color Theory: Warm & Cool Temperature

Colours can be compared in terms of warm to cool. Cool colours contain blues, greens, violets and any colour steps in between. Warm colours more tend to be reds, oranges and yellows.

In this part of the assignment, I tired to create the same tile but 2 different versions, changing only their colours to demonstrate warm and cool temperature. I think this was the easiest step for me, the rest was more tricky. I was working on a butterfly pattern tile in the class. So, here is my warm and cool temperatures.

Eastside Culture Crawl: Visual Arts Festival

Hey guys,


The Eastside Culture Crawl (ECC) is an annual FREE 3-day visual arts festival involving artists in their studios who work on the east side of Vancouver, BC, Canada in an area bounded by Main Street to Commercial Drive and from First Avenue north to the waterfront.


You can find the details in the post cards beside, but the dates for this year is:


NOV 20: 5pm to 10pm

Luckily, I have got a chance to be part of this event this year under the Octopus Studios and will be showcasing some of my works on print. Please check when you have time! I'll be reminding when the event gets closer, but mark it down in your calendars too. I would love to see you there!
