  1. Picture the color red…

  2. Picture Coca-Cola red…

  3. What red are you seeing now?

  4. How many different reds do you perceive? Richard Anuszkiewicz, All Things Do Live in Three, 1963 Acrylic on Masonite, 21” x 35”

  5. Describe what you’re seeing…

  6. Are these all Yellow Lemons?

  7. Color Constancycolor memory

  8. Variables in Color Perception

  9. 4 Variables in Color Perception: 1. LIGHT in which colored object is seen. (temperature, season, time of day….) 2. OTHER COLORS surrounding a Color 3. SIZE of the Color 4. SURFACE on which color exists

  10. LIGHTING (indoors) Incandescent Fluorescent Daylight

  11. LIGHTING(outdoors): SEASON, TIME OF DAY, TEMPERATURE, LOCATION Claude Monet’s Poplars on the Epte

  12. OTHER COLORS

  13. SIZE

  14. SURFACE A single uniform color on a 3D form lends itself to many value changes because of the way light interacts with the surface. Sculpture by: Maria Lewis, Shvetashvatara Upanishad, 1995 Acrylic Paint on canvas, 29” x 29”

  15. Color Interaction & Simultaneous Contrast

  16. Color Interaction: Colors appear to be visually different in different contexts. VS.

  17. Simultaneous Contrast The way in which two different colors affect each other—how one color can change how we perceive the tone and hue of another when placed side by side. The colors themselves don’t actually change, but we see them as altered.

  18. Joseph Alber’s 3 Principles of Color Interaction 1. Light/DarkContrast 2. Complementary Reaction or Effect 3. Subtraction

  19. Joseph Alber’s 1st Principle of Color Interaction Light/DarkContrast

  20. Simultaneous Contrast: Light/DarkContrast

  21. LIGHT/DARK CONTRAST:Relativity of ColorRelativity of VALUE

  22. 3 Properties of Color • Value • Hue • Intensity

  23. 3 Properties of Color • Value

  24. VALUE • lightness or darkness of a color • All colors (including black, white, non-chromatic grays) have value • If you take a black and white photograph of a full color painting, its valuerelationships are made visible, exclusive of its other two structural components. (Neither hue nor intensity is readable in a black and white photograph)

  25. Value CONTRAST • Varies infinitely. The most extreme contrast is between black & white. • A minor value contrast would be two values next to each other on our value scale. (There are an infinite number of grays between black and white, so we’re actually creating a very small sampling)

  26. Achromatic Scale . . . . . aka Value Scale or Grayscale a = without chroma = color

  27. Examples of art with emphasis on VALUE
