Design four non objective / abstract paintings using the same type of shapes throughout, changing the sizes and positions of the shapes to create four or more areas broken into 55%, 25%, 15% and 5% of the total area.
Scheme #1 Starry Night
The colour scheme came from my favourite impressionism painting Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh.
The colour scheme, as well as the painting itself, give me an overall sense of peacefulness, because the dark blue and yellow coordinates well together. The dark blue calm people down, while the bright yellow wrap people up with brightness and warmth. The whole image triggers my imagination and my yearn for the mysterious starry sky.
For the pattern, I also absorbed from the painting and utilized circles and curvy angles, respectively to stand for moon,stars and moving clouds.
Scheme #2 Young Feminine
The first moment I saw this colour scheme, the game Monument Valley came to me.
The four colour altogether create a feeling of a dreamlike realm, like a princess’s palace in fair tale. it also can be associated with sweetness, wonder, candies, marshmallows…
In terms of the patterns, I implied the framing strategy a bit, and altered the perspectives and angles of each image to get four versions, also combining the segments with curves for arcs and pillars.
One of the challenges is that I think four colours are not enough to illustrate all the surfaces 100% clearly. So it is more like a puzzle-like, transformed dimensions
Scheme #3 Sun Rays
I Set the Value K zero for all these four colours so that they are the brightest. They really bring out the heat to our face. The patterns are sun rays from different angles and observation angles.
Scheme #4 Fragment Era
These four colours are close to neon lights, representing for mystery, and fake, distorted visions. Additionally, It’s a bit like cyberpunk here, give people a dizzy feeling, a sense of high technology of the digital age. And the combination of these polygons make the image looks fragile, indicting the fragmentation of our era, questioning about the authenticity of the things we see.
