Art, Love and Majesty: Transitioning moods using moving colour.

Transitioning moods using moving colour is exactly how I describe my Final design. To go deeper into what I mean, Colours symbolise moods, feelings and emotions.

Yellow: Sun, life, passion, Joy, imagination.

Red: Anger, power, rage, passion, lust, love, strength and desire.

Green: Earth, nature, Life, fertility and youth.

Purple: Royalty, luxury, healing, Spirituality, mystery.

Blue: Sea, communication, emotions, clean, space, Clarity.

Pink: Love, tenderness, calm.

Black: Power, depth, fear, unhappiness, sophistication, elegance and wealth.

Colour is the artist's greatest tool. Whatever our medium we use it to transmit emotions through our work. We can use opposing colours or colours in harmony with each other to display our message. I wanted to use my chosen colours to show how I see Kat Ashley. I feel that she is a very loving woman. She was by Elizabeths side up until she (Kat) died. She would spend every day teaching Elizabeth different languages, art, geography, mathematics, and literature. She taught Elizabeth not only about the world but also about love. I wanted those emotions to show in my final piece.

I wanted the colours to move you. The depth of colour is incredibly important to me. I wanted the colours to be strong and well blended almost to look like they are moving into each other and away from each other like emotions do.

These images below inspire me greatly. I love underwater fashion photography as I feel it mixes the two things I have been talking about here, emotions with colour. They are so vibrant and moving. The way the fabric flows through the water and creates these huge, vast shapes. They look like blooming flowers. The bursting colours is what I wanted to use and this definitely inspired me and how I wanted to create moving colours in my final design.
