Color Transforms

    Colors on any single thing in the world can change someone’s thoughts or perceptive of something instantly. A slight touch of color could easily persuade one’s eyes to see illusions and different types of feelings toward the art piece. Although a sepia colored art piece gives the image a western, olden days appearance, adding regular color to the piece could bring back life and realism.
    As for these images I specifically selected, they each have color in them to give the illustrations a sense of realism. The hue and value of a specific color could also add some life to a drawing because it is not one solid color. For example, the drawing on the right of the hand and ball does not use any colors to differentiate that the hands are drawing the ball when in real life, the hand is within the drawing as well. The hand in the drawing is drawn, colored, and shaded using different values of gray to give the hand a three-dimensional look and feel to it so that the audience could see the illusion of the hand being a three-dimensional illustration when it is only two-dimensional.
    On the left is a similar illustration of color bringing a two-dimensional drawing into a three-dimensional one. The illustration focused on making the hands realistic using color to bring the hands into life, as if they are real hands drawing the picture. Color is able to play tricks with one’s mind because a slight change in color could throw a person off on their perceptions. The hand is even drawn with colored arm hair to make the two-dimensional hands more life-like and real.
    For the last example I have chosen, the shading and color is carefully selected to make the illustration’s illusion successful. As you can see, the person in the back of the illustration is real and he stood next to the masterpiece as if the bottle of whiskey is embedded into the ground to trick the audience. You can tell that the colors of the whiskey is carefully selected so that the whiskey would look real and it would be shadowed in to give it more of the three-dimensional effect.
    Colors brighten up a picture, bring life into a picture, and give illusions to a picture. It is able to play tricks with one’s mind, as well as, bring something to life. These art pieces I have chosen show the importance of color and value because it is able to bring forth the realism in a person’s two-dimensional drawing to an illusion of a three-dimensional masterpiece.
