I chose this image because my emotion smoothly and calmly change day to day. My emotion right now is in the middle of this picture, orange shows my interest and yellow shows my joy. I'm interested in starting something new, and I'm joyful to have had much fun at my first game.

This abstract painting uses red to show passion/rage and blue to show sadness/grief. The lines of the tree are very sharp and clean cut.
This reflects my mood today because I am angry and sad we lost our first lacrosse game but it can only get better from there.

Assignment three- color and mood

Colors relate to moods.  Example "I feel blue" means I feel sad.  We just learned about Picasso's blue and rose periods. 
Assignment: Find an abstract painting that relates to your mood today and then give an explanation why the colors and lines represent your mood today. 
Use this chart to help decipher the color mood relationship.  Note the darker the color (shade0 intensifies the mood and the lighter color ( tint) is a more subtle mood.

The artist uses extremely detailed dark and light shading to create a realistic picture of a Bengal Tiger, which has a very difficult face to draw do to its many shades and designs of its face. The artist also created the sense of the tiger being 3D by highlighting and darkening specific areas us the chin, ears, whiskers, and neck.
