Title: The Colour Purple
Theme: Exploring colour theory
Technique: Use of the Colour
Wheel
Due date: May 31, 2014
Did
you know that purple was the colour chosen to represent the Suffragette
Movement? Or that Feminism adopted
purple, as a theme colour, in honour of that association?
The
challenge will be to create a piece that uses the colour purple in a symbolic
way.
Technique: use the colour wheel to create a specific colour
arrangement,( i.e.complementary. analogous, split complement etc.) one that must
include the colour purple. Tell
us a bit of how you decided which colours to use, and how the symbolism
associated with the colour purple influenced your choice.
