Visual Analysis of Post-Modern Project

          This project was done by first photoshopping images to represent the quote "The great person is ahead of their time, the smart make something out of it, and the blockhead, sets themselves against it." Then, the next form of medium used was paint. This provides a visual texture, due to the obvious brush strokes. The composition is a swirl and the eye follows the brains around the page in a circle as well as around the swirling clouds. The piece is very dark with some aspects of lighter values from the white. The color scheme is a triad with red, yellow, and blue, in addition to the contrast of shades of black and white.
           The one side of this piece makes me feel chaos and confusion. There is a lot going on with all the swirls and hands coming from every direction. This is compared with a more calm and simple piece right next to it. This side makes me feel more relaxed and think more simplistically. The contrast of these two opposite ideas makes a sort of balance between calm and chaotic. The ideological meaning of this piece fits well with post-modernism. It is a swirl of society including a race against the clock as well as emojis. In addition to this, there is a dark corporate/business aspect to this piece. Since there is a lot going on in this piece, in a way it represents how nowadays there is a lot going on in the world all of the time. Sometimes it seems that there is so much to do in so little time and it is not often that you get that calmness and relaxation. Overall, there is a sense of rushing around through a society of emoji and business culture.

Whitescapes

These objects both looked very white separately, but when they were put near each other the colander looked like a more blue white and the notebook looked more yellow white. When I changed the lighting, the color change was more drastic. The colander had a more rose white color and the notebook was more rose yellow white.

Colors- Radiolab Podcast

               This podcast begins with the discussion of Isaac Newton trying to discover if the color is within or outside the mind. Most people know his experiments with the prism, but I did not know that he stuck something into his eye to try to discover the answer that question. I find this disturbing and interesting that he would choose to do this. Eventually, his experimenting led to the findings of what we know today.       I thought that many of the points that were made in this podcast were very interesting. It surprised me that all humans/animals see different variations of colors. Dogs only see blues and greens. They do not have the cone for red. This one cone that they do not have adds such a limitation on colors. On the other side of this, sparrows can see more than us. They can see ultraviolets. In addition, butterflies have 7 photoreceptors, and a mantis shrimp has 16, while humans only have 3. Also, I thought it...
