I decided to take a unique approach to the assignment Activity #1: Creating your Color Wheel. I created a composition of flowers in an art nouveau style with a faded aesthetic to break away from the traditional color wheel concept. This decision stemmed from a desire to challenge myself and take an advanced approach to the project. I saw this as an opportunity not only to fulfill the assignment’s requirements but also to create a piece that could enhance my portfolio and further solidify my understanding of color theory. In selecting the colors for the flowers, I carefully considered the meanings and values commonly associated with each hue. For instance, I chose a soft and muted palette of pastel blues and purples. These colors are often linked to tranquility, serenity, and a sense of balance. While I initially entertained the idea of using bolder and more contrasting colors, such as vibrant reds and oranges, I eventually discarded them because they could have overwhelmed the composition and distracted me from the overall aesthetic. By focusing on hues and adjusting their saturation and brightness, I aimed to create a soft and pleasing composition that would complement the art nouveau style and convey a sense of timelessness and elegance. In summary, this project allowed me to deepen my understanding of color theory and apply it in a creative and unique way
