Color on the Couch

Digital Photography Color plays a vital role in the world in which we live. Color can sway your thinking, change actions and cause reactions. As a powerful form of communication, color is meaningful and irreplaceable.


For this assignment you will be challenged to use color to evoke a particular mood and/or a psychological effect.

Here are a few things to keep in mind: how colors relate to other colors, how contrast and saturation can affect mood, how other artists have done this, how you respond to color, and also, how color is and has been utilized in our (or in any) society (i.e. media, military/authority, baby nurseries, bus stations, etc.). Consider lighting, composition, subject matter and Photoshop’s color tweaking potential.This assignment will help you to pay careful attention to the construction of your images, to the importance of the communicative role of art, to the diverse ways in which viewers interpret and relate to photographs and the degree to which color can be used to translate meaning.

You will need 3 photographs on your blog that represent color.You will need another photograph illustrating The Yellow Wallpaper.

So that makes a grand total of FOUR photographs due next week Friday.
