Complementary Contrast, DAWN HUNTER, PROJECT AUTHOR. PROJECT CONCEPT IS BASED ON THE TEACHINGS OF JOHANNES ITTEN AND developed through the Guidance of ROY DRASITES' Syllabus.

Complementary Contrast, Final Project

Student create final projects that use two colors only and incorporate three simulated or physical textures. Projects may be representational or abstract. Acrylic on paper, 5" x 8."

Complementary Contrast Final Project

Student create final projects that use two colors only and incorporate three simulated or physical textures. Projects may be representational or abstract. Acrylic on paper, 6" x 6."

Complementary Contrast, PHysical Preliminary

Students begin understanding the project by selecting genuine complements from Itten's Color Star. They aim to establish true complements in light-dark contrast therefore, they may have to select diametrically opposite pairs in tints and shade.

Complementary Contrast, Final Project (Left) and Digital Preliminary (Right)

Student create final projects that use two colors only and incorporate three simulated or physical textures. Projects may be representational or abstract. Acrylic on paper, 6" x 6." Prior to their final project they create a digital sketch in order to understand the range of variations in value that their two colors can create. The intent of the digital image is that it serves as a thumbnail sketch, and not a final work.

Simultaneous Contrast Project, Left, and Complementary Contrast Project, Right

Just like in Contrast of Hue and Cold Warm Contrast, students are encouraged to re-use their designs in Simultaneous Contrast and Complementary Contrast projects. Students must become aware of the impact of color on a design.
