Cool/Warm Contrast

I think the artist effectively uses cool & warm colors in this painting to draw your eye to the subject, which is the dog & give a nice, calming sense to the whole picture. The background seems to be far back & the subject right up front which I think is heavily aided by the artist’s choice to use cool & warm colors.

Ad that Uses Color

This ad effectively uses the colors red & white to create a meaningful message. The color red is associated with their Coke product, as it’s the color on their label. Shapes are created with negative space & without even reading the label you can pretty much tell what product the ad is representing.

Favorite Color

As I’ve gotten older my favorite color has shifted from red & green, to Tiffany blue, to black. Black makes me feel calm, it’s my favorite color to wear & I feel like it goes with everything. Anything against a black background pops & I immensely enjoy black & white photography. I also included my second favorite, Tiffany blue, just in case black didn’t really count. Tiffany blue also makes me feel calm. My whole main floor of my house is painted this color.

Line

This pillow is decorated with the use of line. There are implied lines, rectilinear lines & quite a bit of variety. The lines go in all directions, leading your eye all over the pillow to capture the entire design. All the lines are pretty much the same thickness. I feel like the pattern these lines create give off a calming feeling.
