contrast (to compare)

“Yellow Wall” from classroom demo production

good morning。Today is Sunday, July 9, 2023。It's a hot and cloudy day。news? Looking at the weather forecast, Shimane、From the Sea of ​​Japan side such as Yamaguchi to northern Kyushu、Looks like it's raining heavily。Since it is a natural disaster, some aspects are unavoidable.、I hope that the damage that can be prevented is minimized.。

Demo production for watercolor class on Tuesday.。I couldn't finish it in the classroom, so、I drew it until it was completed after I got home.。Here the color contrast、In particular, the sub-theme is the contrast of complementary colors.。Complementary colors is a term that refers to the relationship between two colors that complement each other.、In this case, the yellow wall、This is the case with the purple color all around trees and buildings.。I also took pictures、I'm planning on uploading it to YouTube someday。

I would like to add an explanation of complementary colors.、The idea is to use the so-called three primary colors (red、green、yellow) and a mixture of two of them.、The remaining one is a complementary color relationship.、If you remember this, you will be able to make most of them.。as is well known、If you mix blue and yellow, you get green、Green and red are complementary colors、That means。In reality, you will use paint or light.、Each will be a completely different mixed color.。even in the case of paint、For example, there are many types of red that have quite different properties.、Also ink and oil paint、There are also differences in materials such as watercolors.、It can be said that the combinations are infinite.。However、The basic idea is as described above.。
Not just color、Of course, there is also a contrast between light and dark, such as white and black.。The concept of “contrast” is further、Widely understood, not only in visual arts such as paintings, but also in general.、being used、Be conscious in all “comparisons”、used unconsciously。When you say "that person is tall"、It's about comparing yourself or those around you.、When we say, “That person has become beautiful,” we mean that person’s past.、or compared to others of the same age.、This means that you are comparing it in this way.。I think it can be said that ``contrast'' is the center of ``comparison.''。 

A concept that can be contrasted with "contrast" is "harmony."。In the world of art, it seems that ``contrast'' is included in ``harmony.''、Depending on how you think about it, it might seem like the opposite.。 
“Comparing” is a great wisdom of humans.。Its wonderful development was manifested in the invention of the "ruler".。Through the sharing of concepts in all fields,、It's also interesting to think about how it is connected to today's AI.。
