Today, things move fast. Trends, styles, changes, media, information. The speed of information in particular contributes to the current human theme of connection. Whether through social media, webcams, cell phones, skype. . . etc people today are always in touch. Not only are people connected but so is the information we share. I believe that we thrive as a species when we have a multitude of talent and information at our disposal. Striving to gain experience in everything around is a huge personal goal of mine. Anything I learn can be applied to my creative endeavors and will only serve to make me a better artist.

Color Study- Contemporary

For my color class, I needed to take two pieces of artwork, one contemporary and one historic and reproduce them in a range of color schemes. This is my contemporary piece, by Mark Rothko.
Red, Orange, Tan, and PurpleMark Rothko
1949
Oil on Canvas


What follows are reproductions of this painting in varying color schemes. Monochromatic, Primary, Complementary, Analogous and finally a reproduction of the actual palette.
