Abstract Art/Using colour

Anger
Explanation~In this abstract artwork I used my idea of anger as an emotion that builds up, I used a shape that started small and got bigger and more chaotic. I used black in the centre to suggest the start of the emotion and also because "black is the colour of authority and power" and can also imply submission which can cause anger. I also used red because its "the most emotionally intense colour, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing" also associated with anger.

Along with using a shape that starts of small and gets bigger, I used blocks of colour at the side to depict a spilling out but also controlled feeling for the viewer. I added elements of brown, as "brown can be sad and wistful" and splashes of orange to connect all the colours. I used the website www.infoplease.com as a resource for my colour theory.

Calm

Explanation~In this abstract piece I used what I relate to the feeling of calm most with, being the ocean. I tried to use the shape of a wave to convey the emotion of relaxation.  I used the background colour of white as 'white reflects light and is considered a summer colour' and summer is also associated with the feeling. I used different shades of blue within the wave because ' peaceful, tranquil blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it is often used in bedrooms'. I used simplicity in this design because the emotion of calm is not complex.I used the website http://www.infoplease.com/spot/colors1.html for my colour theory.

Excitement

Explanation~In this abstract artwork I used many different colours within bubbles to convey my idea of excitement, as excitement can make you feel many different emotions. I started with smaller bubbles that got bigger and start to connect together with the progression of the emotion. I mainly used the colour pink as "this colour can be used to lessen irritation and aggression as it is connected with feelings of love". I also used yellow because "similarly to orange,  yellow is a happy and uplifting colour". 

I used the website http://library.thinkquest.org/27066/psychology/nlcolorpsych.html for my colour theory.

#6. "Don't count your chickens, until they've hatched"~1920x1080 RGB 72 ppi

In this composite I used a situation I went though recently counting on a pre approval for a loan from a bank to obtain items I thought I needed to create the perfect picture. I used the frame containing items I would of purchased if successful.

#5. "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence"~1920x1080 px RGB 72 ppi

In this composite I used how I imagine my life to be once I am educated and employed by using images of a successful woman providing for her family by doing what she loves for a living. I used myself with a white picket fence to divide what I have and what I want, the greener. I incorporated other elements to continue with the theme.

#4. "When it rains, it pours"~1920x1080 px 72 ppi

After exploring web definitions I related all idioms to my own life. My idea was to express this concept though what I have learnt from composites one and two, by putting myself into a composite. I used my own situation to convey the theme by using raindrops containing symbols, and me holding an umbrella needed for the overwhelming amount.
