The more I begin to explore art, the more I am finding out about how colour is used purposefully in specific art movements. For example, the way in which Andy Warhol uses a lot of non-represational colour choices is an attempt to convey different moves in his pop art (Web Exhibits, n.d.).
In one of the lectures, I was presented with an opportunity to explore and experiment with primary colours. During this time were given the three colours, yellow, blue and red, and I experimented firstly with creating a combination of secondary colours. I then went on to create different shades by adding more or less of one colour to the blend, creating an interesting array of tertiary colours.
After reading further about the use of colour, it appears that it holds a great purpose in its choice for art. It is suggested that each colour alone symbols different feelings and emotions, and when used purposefully and intentionally, these can be used to infer meanings (Rohrer, 2010).
This might help enlighten me to the meaning behind some of these famous art movements.
