Colors and How They Make Me Feel

This is a project that I have been working on for the first half of the semester. I chose ten colors, recorded how they made me feel, and then found a black and white image that made me feel the same way. After this, I created an original piece that was a response to the feeling.

Pink- Nostalgia

Cyan- Free and Open

 Black- Depth

Blue- Claustrophobic

Yellow- Optimistic 

Green- Chaotic

Purple- Alone

Orange- Compelling Danger

 

Red- Shattering

White- Free

Combining Historical Photos and Nightmares

Since these are the two things I work with most, I really wanted to combine them. Here is the result.

The Stories We Used to Know

This was one of my favorite things to see from the trip. The Sinagua people who lived in the area believed that the cracks in the rock were the entrances and exits to the place of the dead. Spirits could come and go as they please. This glyph shows a funeral procession with the dead soul being thrown into the crack in the rock- to the place of the dead.

The Chapel of the Holy Cross. The window looks over the rocks surrounding Sedona.

The Details of Things

Returning to Black and White

Some of these things are not like the others...

In Arizona, we visited a park called Out of Africa Wildlife Park. We got to feed tigers, see lions, and all kinds of other animals. Here are a few shots:
