Blog #3: Color

     This past week, we learned a lot about colors and how they affect us and Interiors. Colors can affect our moods and have a psychological impact on our day-to-day lives. 

    First color theory is a science within art. Different colors send different messages to our brain, such as to be happy to be calm, or to be excited and bubbly. 

    There are three different color families. First is warm with is more saturated and tends to be fall colors.  Next, there are cool colors which tend to be brighter to the eyes in general. There are also neutral colors, which are browns, whites, greys, and blacks. 

    The are also many different color schemes. There is:

        Monochromatic: Meaning only one color

        Complimentary: Two colors directly across from each other on the color wheel

        Split complementary: Instead of directly across it is the two colors next to the one across from the originally chosen color. 

        Analogous: Three colors are all right next to each other on the color wheel. 

        Triadic: Three colors are all equally apart from each other on the color wheel, creating a triangle. 

        Square: Four colors are all equally apart from each other on the color wheel, creating a square. 



    A few different things that can influence color include Light, Direction of the color in comparison to the light, texture, and shade.

    I love how you went into the psychology of color, which is very interesting. And you did a really good job on your negative space drawing!

    I really appreciate the pictures to help understand the summary of the chapter readings. Your negative space drawing looks good, and I like how some sections are darker than other to help give the form dimension.

    Eli,

    I really enjoyed reading your post and seeing your perspective on the sketch! I think negative and positive space can be so fascinating and easily looked over, but I think you did a good job defining the two within your sketch.

    Eliana,
    I enjoyed your Blog entry this week. The Psychology of colors and how they influence humans is a worthy study. You ended your summary with some important concepts such as the other influencers of color perception such as light, texture, shade...
    You negative space drawing was great because of the dark shade you created.
    Total Points: 50/50

Blog #8- Emphasis, Contrast, and Detail

Image
 This week we talked about Emphasis, Contrast, and Details: First, we talked about Emphasis: Emphasis can be brought out through different aspects including Texture Lighting Furniture View Architectural details Emphasis brings some drama, balance, and personality to a home or space Emphasis is the purposeful development of focal points and establishes a hierarchy within the space It also determines how viewers perceive or feel about a space.  Next, we covered Contrast: Cohesiveness is important but not so much that everything blends in  Contrast adds balance Should be achieved by two or more elements of opposing characteristics in a space Creates Visual interest Finally, we talked through different things that are considered details and said that they were the "icing on the cake" in a design.

Blog #5: Balance and Unity/ Color Context in Culture

Image
 This week we had a guest speaker again, who came and spoke to us about color. We learned a lot about color and culture.  Color is symbolic in culture but doesn't always mean the same thing, from place to place.  yellow, for example, represents the farmer caste in India, so you wouldn't want to wear yellow if that was not your caste, especially if you are higher up. Still, in China, it is a color of luck and is worn at many celebrations.  We also learned about not only the culture of the place people come from, but also the culture of age, gender,  and climate different age groups have been known to like different color schemes.  Young children love primary colors Young teens like bold and saturated colors with a little bit of neutral for stability Gen Z and Millennials have started to customize their own homes, instead of following the trends and their parents Boomers like colors with less pigment and prefer bigger contrasts especially as they age.  d...

Blog #9: Drawings and Renderings

Image
      This week we started looking through our container project and came up with idea boards.       In our readings, we learned about different types of drawings, such as floorplans, elevations, isometrics, and perspectives. These will be really helpful in the future when we are bringing our container houses together.      While working on my precedent studies and concept ideas, I came across many that were L-shaped. One that struck me the most was the one shown below. It gave me a lot of inspiration to create a welcoming outdoor area and to make glass walls in order to really open up the space to the outdoors more.      For my general design, I want to focus on the L shape and create an open floor plan, where the bathroom and bedroom would really be the only rooms that are closed off from the others.  Finally, this week, for our sketch, we rendered shrubs or trees, below is my attempt at a tree.
