Metamorphosis

Final Experiementation and Idea Development

23/12/15

Going back to my earlier research into colour asociation and emotions, I had finally found 5 emotions that are suitable and relate to the three poems. 

- Satisfaction: Cadmium Yellow

- Alertness: Pale Lemon Yellow

- Purification: Colbalt Blue

- Dignity: Medium Violet

- Judgement: Violet

In order of use, I have done Alertness, or pale lemon yellow, for when Diana became aware of Actaeon whilst bathing, Dignity, which is Medium Violet, for when she stood up and acted against Actaeon in order to preserve hers and the women around her from loss of dignity, Judgment, a Violet, for when she judged Actaeon as a sneak and determined that he should be punished, Purification, a Colbalt blue, for the moment when she turned Actaeon into a deer for his own dogs to hunt and kill, in which her and her women's entourage's purity was restored, and lastly, Satisfaction, a Cadmium yellow, for when Actaeon was killed. 

The first experimentation was to see how the colours went together, and so I simply brushed them onto a page and then blended them together slightly with a dry sponge.

The second experimentation included using a paint dripping method as I had been previously. Using the same colours that I had chosen, I mixed them with water and poured it over a piece of cardboard I had painted white.
