Colour concentrate


|    idealog    home

Here are a whole bunch of ideas that focus on colour in some way.

Monochromatic:

  • Create a landscape using only shades of one colour.


Walk about it:

  • Pick a colour before you go for a walk and look for things that colour. Take pictures of them and turn the photos into a collage. Or just enjoy them where they are.


Palette:

  • Collect natural items and arrange them into a colour palette that you photograph.
  • Choose a colour palette that represents your emotions, your moods, then use it to create something.
  • Create a colour wheel where each colour represents a different emotion. Use them to express and track your emotions each day through drawings, swatches, images, or written descriptions.
  • Create a piece using only primary colours. RGB or CMY.


Colourful:

  • Photograph the most colourful objects you own.
  • Capture some things that are your favourite colour.
  • Create a landscape using "wrong" colours - pink air? orange sea? mauve trees?
  • Make a list of favourite things that are your favourite colour.
  • Take a picture through a piece of coloured film, or with that film covering the flash.
  • Sketch a self-portrait in different shades of your favourite colour(s).


Crayonic:

  • If you were a crayon, what colour would you be?
  • Make some colouring pages.
