FASHION TO WEAR

For our color study's final project, we were given a task to create an outfit based on one of the five themes that had been given by our lecturer. The five themes that were given to us are PUNKY, RETRO, VINTAGE, SPORTY, and HAUTE COUTURE. Retro style is a culturally outdated style or trend, mode, or fashion, from the overall post-modern past fashion from 1940-1990. To me, retro fashion would be in bright color such as pastel or neon color, the colors that really stand out in the crowd. So I decide to make a retro skirt.

These are some of materials that I used for my retro skirt. My skirt is fully in black color so to make it looks retro, I make polka dots in deep pink light color. Therefore, my retro color scheme would be in black and deep pink light colors. Following are my progress of making retro skirt :

The shades of pink represent unconditional love and nurturing. It also shows immature, silly, and girlish; pink is feminine and romantic, thoughtful and caring. Other than that, pink calms our emotional energies, offers warmth and tenderness to peoples. On the other hands, black is the color of the hidden, secretive, unknown, powerful, and mysterious. It gives such elegant feeling into the person who wearing it. I like the combination of both colors because it looks simple, cute, and nice.

Color value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. Value becomes critical in a work which has no colors other than black or white. Every color can produce a variety of tones; how light or dark these are depends on the color.

These are the color value that we make using primary color; YELLOW, RED, BLUE. Starts with the color, we keep on adding white color to get the lightest color.

WHAT IS COLOR ?

Color is the element of art that is produced when light striking an object, is reflected back to the eye. Color plays important roles in our life. Without color, our world would be only black and white; cold, dark and empty. "Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions." - Pablo Picasso.

Colors can convey emotions, express personality and send messages. Each colors can represented our mood and personality. For example, red color shows passion, strength, love and bravery. Blue represented trust, loyalty and peace. Yellow is optimistic, cheerful and happy. Different colors, different mood.
