For the optical mixing assignment in my color theory class, I decided to do something I hadn't done in a very long time, if ever: a self-portrait based on life. Taken from a picture for a transit pass in Prague from the summer of 2010, I stayed true to the structure of my face rather than just giving myself one huge eye and gumdrop teeth. I made myself green, because, well...I couldn't make it completely serious.
The point of this assignment was to use two or more colors in a way that from a distance they appear to be a certain color, but when you get near, you can see the distinct colors laying next to each other. Think pointillism from your art history class.
Let's build a face!
Just for fun, a shot of my color test area.
