The
color wheel assignment was to take several images of the same theme or from the
same location and put filters onto them to create the colors of the color
wheel. A few months ago I went to the Chihuly Glass Exhibit at the museum in
Richmond. I took several photos of the glasswork, and when I was browsing for
good images to use for the color wheel I realized these would be perfect; many
of the images were already one distinct color and required little help from the
filter. I found the glass exhibit fascinating and I have always thought that
glass blowing is cool, so I was inspired by the images. I using spacing and
size to create balanced, appealing image. I used size especially on the second
image to make all he shoes line up. I chose the sun outline because I thought a
colorful sun would look good, and I chose the show because I was struggling to
think of a second stencil when I looked down and saw my shoe. I am very happy
with the results, and I am especially pleased with the background for my shoe
image.
