Color Theory

Figure 1.2.3 Color Psychology

Personally, I am very fond of the color yellow. To me, the color brings a positive energy which radiates cheerfulness. Whenever I see the color yellow, it brings me joy and it lifts me up. In my opinion, yellow is such a bright color. So normally, it stands out to me from the others. Yellow also beams out optimism which uplifts me in gloomy situations. It triggers me to think positively and have a positive attitude. That's why I love yellow. I won't say it's a color I often wear or choose for my possessions, but it is a color I often look for and treasure at heart as it creates a smile in my face.

We are instructed to create 2 double exposure artworks, one following the tutorial, and one free to our own imagination. Below are my progress and result.
