Assessment: Depth using colour

             Unit:             BSBDES301A   Explore the use of colour (Ungraded)

             Due:            Tue 11^th Nov 2014

Assessment Overview

‘The wavelengths of warm colors are longer so your eyes see them sooner than the shorter

wavelengths of cooler colors. Using warm colors in the foreground of a painting and cool

colors in the background of a painting can help create the illusion of miles of distance in a

landscape and of a more shallow depth of space in a still life painting.’

As explained above, the temperature (hue) of a colour is an effective tool to demonstrate depth in

an artwork. It can also be displayed by varying the brightness (value) and color saturation

(chroma) of fore, mid and background elements.

In this assessment, you are to create three illustrations that demonstrate your knowledge of the

three colour characteristics (hue, chroma and value) and how they can be utilised to create depth

in an artwork. You may duplicate the same illustration to create the three artworks and simply

alter the colours if you wish. Each of the artworks must not utilse the other two characteristics of

colour (eg elements of the chroma illustration must not vary in value or hue)

Finished body of work

• 3 digital illustrations created using Adobe Illustrator (RGB colour mode)
• 3 Illustrations must be on 3 separate A4 Artboards in one Illustrator document
• Save 3 Artboards as one single PDF and upload to Moodle by the due date

Marking Criteria

To satisfactorily pass this assessment, you must demonstrate evidence of the following:

• Knowledge of the characteristics of colour
• Effective use of colour to communicate depth
