We can see that an architect, like an artist, uses building as a huge canvas to communicate his or her ideas and thought processes. As a result, anything from the walls to the stair railings may be a statement piece. Given that architectural elements occupy a substantial portion of one's field of vision, it is imperative to be conscious of how a hue could effect the user. Certain spatial characteristics can be visually simulated by color, which can also be used to portray volume or architectural detail. Additionally, it could produce a range of various feelings and visual effects. In this workshop we formed into groups and got to express our thoughts and ideas through arrangements of colors. Visually experiencing the effects of colors on the environment and human mind made me learn a lot of new factors about color psychology. The above provided illustration is portraying various colors arranged randomly without any context or interior. Later in this blog the context of the arrangement will be explained which will give it meaning.
Initial Arrangements
For the initial activity, random students were given a chance to arrange the colored sheets according to their perspective. Everyone brought 2 A1 sheets colored with a certain thought and idea. For some it was their favorite color while for some it was associated with a certain object with sentimental feelings. I chose two pastel colors as they were associated with a beautiful memory I had.
Sunset Of Portsmouth
The next activity included forming a group of 9 students and arranging the various colored A1 sheets in a certain pattern with a narrative.
My idea was to create a color pattern which resembles the spectacular pattern of a sunset. Sunset in the beautiful city of Portsmouth was wonderful to watch. The sky gives various shades of indigo, blue, orange, red and yellow. These colors are accompanied by the greenery and the shades of manmade infrastructure. | City in a palm As it was a collaborative task, all my groupmates took the arrangement and place it over a wall which felt like carrying the entire city in your hands. | It's difficult to picture a world without it, and while color is a remarkable tool for communicating thoughts and feelings, it also works wonders for architecture. |
The works of other students is presented in the following illustrations Depending on the pigments, the nuances of color can energise, reassure, or calm. They therefore have a positive impact on the psychology and health, depending on their applications. Therefore, color can be a significant advantage for creating an atmosphere and offering targeted treatments for particular illnesses or inadequacies.
Expressive component
The aim is to examine how color as a human activity, is significant to the point of being a need, not only to achieve some decorative or aesthetical values, but also to fulfill some needs of the human being that they cannot live without, beginning with studying color in the natural environment and moving on to color as an important component of Man-made environments represented in architectural and design elements. Moving towards the next activity which was to involve the interior of the studio with the colors provided and make it as interactive as possible.
In the next activity I tried to create a visual combination of both interior and exterior environment. This visual interpretation explains how the exterior interacts with the interior to create a collective unit.
The color pastel yellow evokes feelings of warmth, community, and delicateness. The inside area conveys the messages of energizing, brightness, and comfort. | Red is dynamic, energizing, provocative, flaming, and powerful. The message inside is strong, motivating, and overpowering. |
Green conveys the ideas of ease, security, and equality while modifying, being consistent, and remaining silent. |
White conveys openness, boundlessness, objectivity, and sterility. The theme was purity, emptiness, and hesitancy. |
"Every one of us, as per our taste and responses, support one or more of the commanding plans of colors. Every person is drawn towards some specific harmony which appears to unite with his inward thoughts. The commonsense trouble is to show colors in a manner that the individual can recognize his own particular sympathy." (Le Corbusier. salubra)
In my opinion color choices can change a space's appearance of size and shape to some extent. The choice of warm or cold hues, or between light and dark tones, can increase or decrease the appearance of a room's size. Designers can employ the visual effects of various colors to change how people perceive space by altering how large a space appears to be, how tall a ceiling appears to be, or how wide a hallway appears to be.
small work, BIG impact Shape and color are used in some capacity in all forms of art. When shape and color are employed effectively in artwork, your eyes might be drawn to specific areas of the piece. Color is a tool that I used to express myself and to evoke a certain emotion in the viewer. By looking at and making art, you can get others talking about shape and color. In the first imagine I put a red dot with a small inscription of "don't touch". By this message the audience was drawn towards it due to the color effect as well as the instruction as it was a touch screen device. moreover, in the second image I placed a leaf on the water bottle implying that water is the most important source of life.
