Ferrara Color Vocab




Color : Red, Orange, Blue-ish
Pigments : What?
Hue : See Color
Value : Clothes are bright, People and background are dull
Temperature : Warm (People) and Cool (Mother)
Warm Colors : Red, Orange
Cool Colors : Blue
Monochromatic : The Background
Neutral : The border
Primary : Red, Blue
Secondary : Orange

With the bright colors of the people they tend to stand out and say what their positions are. The man in red is the circumcisor and the people in orange, a secondary color, are his assistants, or secondary people. The mother is dressed in blue which isa cool colorand offers comfort to her child. The background and faces of the assistants are dull and neutral so they don't stand out and you tend to focus on the child the mother and the man in red.

Robert Rauschenberg



Although this image is not much of a collage it shows how Robert Rauschenberg takes 3D perspectives and throws them into his collages. He puts real life objects into his collage or something his collage on the real life object. I think that his images are very eye catching and really stand out from where they are displayed. Also the way that he paints on the images (or screens them on, I can't really tell) to give them a nice colored look adds to the feel of the over all image. I also like this quote that seems to keep popping up:

"I think a painting is more like the real world if it's made out of the real world." -Robert Rauschenberg

Lecture Response

So I went to the "lecture" at the Brant Gallery and heard the artist talk about all this photographs and such. It was a nice experience to be able to hear what they were thinking about their art and how it came to be and such...But at the same time it seemed like almost everything they said we could have figured out by ourselves or it was already in the little book we got...So the lecture in general just seemed kinda more like a meet and greet then anything else...
