Colour

I decided to use colour to help get across hope, fear and desire because to me certain colours represent different feelings etc, so i used different colours on photography portraits to change the colour to give of different emotions.

Here is a link that i looked at:

Sunflowers (1888) by Vincent Van Gogh

This painting of Vincent Van Goghs sunflowers show an instinctive understanding of color theory. In his 'Sunflowers' still life, he uses warm yellows to create an energetic image that radiates feelings of hope and joy.

The Tragedy (1903) by Pablo Picasso

On the other hand a more conscious use of colour theory is found in the paintings of Pablo Picasso 'blue period'. He chooses cool colors to evoke the chill of sadness and despair in 'The Tragedy', a typical subject from his work at this time.
