"Colour is the place where our brain and the universe meet" Paul Klee
The Universe is described as space and time including the planets, stars, galaxies and all other forms of matter and energy.
When beginning this project I considered how the universe began almost 14 billion years ago. Did it arise from The Big Bang Theory or was it designed by God as told in the Bible? When we think of the Universe, what do we think of? To simplify this matter I decided to make a mind map gathering all information of what the universe represents.
Issac Newton changed the way in which we understand the Universe. Newton discovered the laws of gravity and motion. He also understood the way light affected colour, using a prism to refract white light dividing it up into its component colours of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet. These colours can also be seen reflected in a rainbow. We can gather from this that colour is a mixture of light and darkness and light is responsible for colour. Goethe's colour theory believed that what we see of a certain object depends upon that object, the lighting and our perception.
The universe is viewed through a system of colours, each planet and it's surroundings projecting their own colours. For example Mars is considered the red planet and Earth the blue planet. The Moon also is associated with many colours blue, red and yellow.
Research for this project has included images depicting, black holes, galaxies, planets and stars using mainly secondary imagery. I have produced various designs using many different medias including pastels, fine line drawings and paint effects using water to create a number of outcomes. Using pastel colours and paint has been beneficial in creating blurred effects which suits my style of creativity. I also am pleased with the colours achieved through the different effects.
I have used The Colour Atlas by Achroma, incorporating four colours from the ancient Chinese five colour system to create different digital prints. It is through research and contextualisation of other artists work and using images sourced on the internet that I have created my own interpretation of the universe and how I view this enormous space and the colours portrayed. I have researched the work of artists such as Stacey Solokin and Kiki Slaughter for inspiration.
The wallpaper designs I have produced are colourful and vibrant, well suited for a target audience of young children's bedrooms ages approximately 5-13 years. I began by creating motifs using mark making techniques such as sponges and different style paint brushes, building up a design. I also generated different background effects by using a shallow long tray filled with water and drops of ink to create a mottled, marbled design. This gives an interesting almost textured pattern to the design.
Overall I think the designs I have produced are effective and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. My research proved inspiring and useful to the development of this project and has enabled me to produce a strong wallpaper collection.
