For this project, we started by brain storming what is visual culture about.From my view, visual culture is what we see and how people perceive what we see. It can also be about the artworks people made to show a specific culture.
For the second step, I did a color walk between the new school building and Loeb Hall. This walk stated by following the color red. I documented the colors I saw in the following words:
Red neon billboard
A woman with red cap
A man with red scarf
Red fire hydrant
Red shop sign
Red “BLICK ART STORE”
Red “PARSONS”
Green construction frame
Green mail box
Green leaves of trees along the road
Green shop sign of SWEET GREEN
Green wheels of bicycle
Road is painted green
A dark blue truck
A man in dark blue coat

Traffic lights are painted light yellow
Light yellow signs painted on the road
Light yellow advertisement of hamburgers
Light yellow taxi
Light yellow sign of Valley National Bank

Brown door

I also painted two different color wheels, one is a circle and the other is a triangle:
I use combined different color pieces to express mood and feelings:
Serious
Serenity
Calm
I grouped with other three people and we used our various color pieces to create our special color wheel.
In the next step, each one of us chose a specific color and did some research.
I chose the classic black. I did some research on the connotation of this color:
Black can be linked with power, fear, mystery, strength, authority, elegance, formality, death, evil, aggression and sophistication. Black is the absence of color. It is a mysterious color that is particularly associated with the unknown or the negative.
For my final piece, I carved a dead tree with black plastic foam board.
