Josef Albers- Interaction of Color. Exercises 3 &4. Due Monday April 9th.

Exercises 3 & 4- Due Monday, April 9th. 

Notes: the larger squares are 2" x 2" and the smaller squares are 1" x 1". So, for exercise 3 you will need to cut two squares 2" x 2" and remove a 1" corner from each of these. In the empty space, place your 1" square of the appropriate color. The goal is to make the bottom right-hand color appear to be floating above the upper-left color. If this is done correctly, you will create an illusion of transparency and 3-dimensional space/depth.

Keep in mind the rendering device of atmospheric perspective- as objects move away from the viewer they decrease in both chroma and contrast. Therefore, a prismatic color may appear "closer" to the viewer while a chromatic gray may appear "more distant".
