Second In-Class Activity: Contrast
The video depicts colour contrast between pencil crayon colour against lined paper with digitally created colour in Photoshop. It was interesting — and refreshing — to use pencil crayons with it’s texture, smell, and various shades on paper as it allowed me greater control than the mouse in drawing the particular shapes. The pencil crayon colour is heavier in stroke when pressed harder whereas the Photoshop brush is solid and mechanical in control. This is intended to promote reflection on the two mediums in producing colour and texture as well as contrast the fluid shape of the colours against the more rigid structures of lined paper.
