Colour theory.

We spent the majority of the session learning about how colours interact with
one another, when certain colours are bought together they can fool the human 
eye with ease, here are a couple examples of this concept...


Here, the two orange bars on this image are exactly the same shade. It’s the way 
they are positioned on the green bars that makes them look different.

"Stare at this animation for 40 seconds, and concentrate on the black spot.
 After some time, the image will switch automatically (since it’s 2 frame animation), and 
show you black and white photo of a Pyramid in Egypt. Because of the special effect, 
originally invented by John Shadowsky, you will see a full color photoof the Pyramid 
instead black and white one that shows up."


We started to document our own experiments, working with our objects collected
for the life-size colour wheel. In pairs we had a number of our own coloured
objects (in our case green and red) and a range of multicoloured paper. We 
photographed the objects in endless combinations with different coloured
paper as the backgrounds, to see how the colours interacted.

Below is a selection of 30(aprx) out of about 200 images taken in the 
effort to become at one with colour...
