Before Thursdays class I made three models exploring different parts of our research into the colour orange.
My first model (below) explores the interaction of colours.
This model explores the two primary colours (yellow and red) that create orange. The reason why I created a circular form was because through research I learnt that the colour orange was named after the fruit. This model also explores that the different amounts of red added to a yellow creates a different intensity of orange. In this instance, where the red tulle material folds and overlaps is where a deeper orange occurs.
My second model (below) explores an aspect of our seminar research.
I decided to explore complementary colours through this model. Angle is a very important factor in this model; the amount of orange colour that is shown against the blue depends on the angle it is viewed from.
My third model (below) explores a detail.
I wasn’t quite sure what was meant by ‘explore a detail’ so I decided to take the approach of exploring orange by itself through the closeup interaction of different materials. This model I explored with weaving thin orange paper rope in and around a fixed orange paper straw and to create form I used wire.
During Thursdays class I continued making models through the cupcake exercise. The three models I had already made were positioned as three corners to a rectangle. I then began to make models that were a combination of a chosen opposite two and continued until I had 25 models. Below is an image of my models displayed.
I have also included some evocative images of some of the individual images by themselves.
