Shaun Space Crit: 1 (semester 2)

Yesterday we had another Shaun Space Critique and the artists showing were Jessica Avery, Brett Dickson, Krysta Hudspith, Charlotte Stewart, Dara Yasmin Vera Cruz De Melo, and Emma Wallace. I most interested in artwork that Dara and Jess had created.

Dara's work used a limited colour palette yet it was very visually affective and pleasing. She combined some of her favourite colours and focused on the feelings that they gave her. She had created a colour calendar that documented the change in her mood. She used yellow for happiness and black for sadness. She contrasted the black against a white background so that it would stand out the most.

Jess' work used a more vibrant colour palette as she used numerous bold and bright colours. She had painted a portrait of a singer by working from a video still. The choice of image had a great impact and allowed to fully explore the capabilities of colour to create unusual highlights and shadows.
