For this week’s art assignment, I had my friend and roommate, Rama, as my model! I used the complementary color combo blue and orange. I had her dress up in an orange top, blue jeans, and wrap herself in my blue, fluffy blanket. With the snowy environment and the passing of the winter storm last weekend, for the element of fashion I wanted to emphasize warmth and comfort using my fluffy blue blanket. It also kept her warm during the photoshoot! Blue and orange can also be seen in the background, the stark contrast between the blue sky and the orange bricks of the houses behind the model. I used the compositional S-shape for my background and on the model herself. The strong curvature of the street shows the background S-shape. And I made the model put her hand on her hip so that a S-shape can be seen along the (left) side of her body through the blanket. Using blue and orange as my color combo, I was trying to create a dynamic and interesting scene exhibiting figuratively blue as the “coolness” of the cold, snowy background contrasted by the orange being “warmth” seen by my model covered up in blanket and the cozy houses.
