why is the sky blue?

I always wondered why the sky is blue, i know the water is blue because of the sky, but i never new that it was because of the molecules in the air scattering blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.The white light from the sun is a mixture of all colours of the rainbow.

9 Compositions

This project was the only one that i was confused on it took me a while to figure out exactly what was needed. But after i kind of got an idea. making the design to repeat on the squares was pretty fun, i think that was my favorite part and i like the fact that the design didn't have restrictions or it would have been a bore.
We had to use the color that was to our least pleasure which for me was blue so that part wasn't fun either, i think it all just looks like an optical illusion, and i love optical illusions so these are my kind of projects. I still don't feel like i got the main point of the assignment but i was satisfied how mine turned.

Color Interaction

I think the color interaction assignment was fun, it was entertaining. especially the fact that we had to keep finding the color. i understood how colors interact with each other and also how colors work with each other and create optical illusion. it kind of got repedetive at the end when the assignment kind of felt similar. overall i give the assignment a 8 out of ten, because it was frutrating finding the right colors even though i thought it was right.

Chromatic Grey

I think that the chromatic grey project was very interesting. the tests we did in class helped me to find many of the greys reflected of the ice cream scooper. i enjoyed the project it made me see thing i dont normally see in shadow, i always thought shadows are always grey but now i know that the reflect different shades depending on the object producing them. I think my piece was very successful and didnt have a hard time mixing the right colors.
