Color + Texture

Apr 2, 2012 by misa33

For Color Theory class  we had an assignment to play with color and texture then display them in an aesthetically pleasing way. We were to create 3 different boards each of which with a different color Scheme here is what I came up with:

This first board I think of a very Chic yet jungle look. A lot of the materials I used for this board I feel would be adorable in a nursery. I used 2 different pieces of wallpaper with unique texture patterns to them, tile samples, a glass sample, cork, wood, fabric, rubber and trim. My color scheme for this board is Analogous- colors next to each other on the color wheel I used 3 colors as my main Hues, Blue, Green and Yellow.

For my Next color scheme I did a split complement- a hue and the colors beside it’s complement. I chose to use Purples, Greens and Oranges for this color scheme. This is a very warm color Scheme. I used Wallpaper, fabric, and leathers to compliment these colors according to their textures.

My Last board I used Cool colors with Warm Value. This one was really fun my roommate and I went out in our apartment parking lot and started throwing a block of granite against the gravel in order to break the granite and add the granite to my board.  We also broke glass (carefully- don’t try it at home folks). This board I used the widest variety of materials in the display. I used Rubber, Granite, Glass, Metal, trim, fabric and leather.

Which Board or Color Scheme is your favorite and why? I am very curious as to impressions that are felt towards these boards and what you would call each board and why. Please share.
