EXAMPLES OF GOOD DESIGN - COLOR Assignment: Locate one 2-D artwork that you think strongly utilizes this speci±c element of design. The artwork example you provide maybe ±ne art, illustration, or graphic design. Preferably you ±nd an example that you see in person, however you may also look through an art history books, art journals/magazine, or artist website. Provide a photograph/copy of the artwork by either taking a picture and printing it OR you may copy it out of a book, magazine, or o² the internet. Fill-in the information below and attach or insert the photograph to the bottom of the page. Artwork #1 Artist: Hans Hofmann Title: The Golden Wall Date: 1961 Medium: Oil on Canvas Source & Location: Online & The Art Institute of Chicago Brie±y example why you have selected the artwork as a good example of the speci²c design element. Use text vocabulary. I have chosen this piece, The Golden Wall created by Hans Hofmann not only because of how the vibrant colors drew me in but how intricately they are placed to convey the true meaning of this piece. When looking at the piece you will notice that Hofman uses various colors such as orange, red yellow, blue, pink, and green. While the majority of the painting is covered in a rich orange and light but dense red shade, there are still pops of vibrant colors throughout it, which makes you question why. My favorite part of this piece is the movement, and I think the choices of color really help with this element. There are rectangles of various sizes and colors which direct the gaze across the piece. Dimension is created beautifully by the depiction of some shapes and colors looking like they're ³oating or above the other shapes. Overall, I think this is a great piece to represent color because it not only shows you various colors but also shows that the choices in color have a great e²ect on how the piece is conveyed.
