1. What appeals to you about your story, and the vision/concept you have for your environment.
-I have chosen to do my third project on the story "Gift of the Magi" because it evokes the feeling of love between this couple and what they would do for the other even if it comes at a cost for themselves. For the environment, I want to focus on the couples new york home, where it feels warm and inviting but obviously in less than perfect condition. By this I mean I want to show the worn down nature of the living situation to portray how these two are going through some hard financial struggles but still have warm tones coloring the room.
2. Between 3 to 6 adjectives that describe emotions your painting will communicate
- warm, sweet, rough, tattered, scrappy, soft
3. List colors that will communicate those emotions (moods) as well as the dominant shape
language and lighting considerations.
- Complementary tones with the majority being warm oranges and pops of cool blue/cyan, dominant shapes will be curves and circles. I think candle lighting will fit the warm but poor atmosphere of the living situation.
In addition to thinking colors, you're right to think of lighting. Maybe candles will provide warmth to the image (but in the real world, candles don't generate much lighting--think of when you had to light a room with one candle flame!). So you will probably have to "add" some ambient lighting (from a known or made-up source) to light the room enough. Another thought: what's the lighting outside (is it daytime, nighttime? If it's daytime, what time of day, etc.).
