Students in Art 4 are well underway with a new project. This project will focus on the element of art, color. Color can add so much to a piece of work and depending on the color scheme can create or set the mood of a painting. We can see this in the art by Pablo Picasso. During his 'Blue Period' (1900 - 1904) his paintings were monochromatic in shades of blue and blue-green and sometimes warmed by adding other colors. Some say that during this period he was not happy with his life and this was reflected in the cool colors used as opposed to the 'Rose Period' (1905 - 1907) that followed when things were going well for him. Image, how would the overall effect have been changed if he had painted 'The Old Guitarist' in shades of red?
