#8 Create a Found Object Color Wheel Inspired by Artist Caroline South.

Check Out Caroline South's Work HERE!

Caroline South has challenged herself to organize found objects in interest ways inspired by color and value.

Color- the quality of an object or substance with respect to light reflected by the object, usually determined visually by measurement of hue, saturation, and brightness of the reflected light; saturation or chroma; hue.

Value- the relative lightness or darkness of a color. It is an important tool for the designer/artist, in the way that it defines form and creates spatial illusions. Contrast of value separates objects in space, while gradation of value suggests mass and contour of a contiguous surface.

#9 Love art but can’t afford the original? Make your own! Recreate your favorite painting or sculpture by dressing up with things you have in your house.
