  1. Light Project: Caravaggio
    I had a fun time doing it.

    • We also had a lot of fun looking at them and upchucking our breakfast ice cream at the final crit! Seriously, good work!

    • Nice work based on the one painting. If there were more time I would have asked you to include a wider range of paintings as color source.

    • I’m seeing the Thiebaud pallet. Nice. With more time, it would be good to see the group of photos unified to work more tightly as a whole.

  2. Light Project: Banksy
    Recent article, Bye Bye Banksy from Mission Local.

    • I see the pallet for Banksy in the group of photos. They just need a larger sense of unity between them – maybe limited just to instruments or statues.

  3. Light Project: Edgar Degas

  4. Light project on contemporary Chinese American artist HUNG LIU. Photos are kind of bad; sorry, I’m not proficient in photography or digital manipulation. X(

    • Hey victoria, If you think they still have weaknesses and you don’t use photoshop, you still have time to try taking more pictures with specific color pallet in mind and tighter crops. Think of them as paintings.

    • Victoria Leung

      I love Hung Liu’s work, but I also feel sad looking at it. She paints thickly with lots of linseed oil. With time, most of her work will suffer a lot of cracking.

    • The mirror photo is beautiful. The set is unified by subject and I see some of the pallet – I just don’t get Liu’s beautiful blacks and reds in these photos. And I get the feeling that the photos could use some tighter cropping (not by rules but by your gut).
      PS. No, I don’t think Hung Liu’s work will crack. Oil is pretty well tested, even thick.

  5. Light Project: Paul Gauguin

    • Nice pallet. Title your set “Light Project: ARTIST NAME”

    • I think the only place I really see Gauguin’s color pallet is in the last few photos – the flower for sure. Otherwise his beautiful, saturated colors are mostly missing in the photos. They are in your pallet though.

  6. Light Project: Manet

  7. Light Project: Shepard Fairey.

    • Can you put these all into a set? Also this project is all about COLOR. These do not show the variety of colors used by Shepard Fairey in his works. Look through his site again.

    • It works well when you have the figure in bright colors standing or sitting in front of wallpaper patterns. For a Matisse pallet I think you need the backgrounds to also be saturated in order for there to be strong contrast of hue like Matisse’s. I’m thinking of this image or this one.

  8. Light Project: Doze Green

    • These are interesting images – a good documentation. As far as Doze Green’s pallet, that could have been explored a little more specifically to get those dull greens, dark reds and different blues that he uses.

    • Sarah, I’ll replace the pallet once it is up.

    • Victoria Leung

      Sarah, your work reminds me of our 2-D class last semester. All that collage work must have been fun (especially since you didn’t have to make a graphite reproduction of it after =P). I really like how playful your compositions are.

    • These are beautiful little experiments that get the feel of Murakami and his color sensibility. Nice work.

  9. Light Project: Luc Tuymans

  10. Light Project: Takashi Murakami

  11. Light Project: Raymond Saunders
    I love his paintings!!! ^-^

    • Some of these photos are very beautiful, although I would have preferred photos composed and shot specifically for this project. I think if you had, the colors might have been less low-saturation and closer to Diebenkorn’s whole pallet.
