Thesis Proposal
The academic and autobiographical events
that I am connecting to my thesis project would be learning about the color
theory in my elementary school art class. As a child, art was my favorite
subject and I still have the folder of all of my work, which I think can serve
as an interesting and personal component of discovery to my thesis project. I
would like to incorporate some of these pieces in the final installation or by
possibly scanning them and including them in a publication.
Aside from this concept, I also
plan to connect my thesis to both science and psychology by discussing how we
perceive color as humans and how each color evokes specific emotion within us.
This is important because color is an interesting and misunderstood part of our
every day lives and we do not pay attention to the affects that different
colors have on us. Even the idea of how we actually see and perceive color is a
complex system and I am intrigued on researching and learning more about this
process and the meaning behind each individual color. As a designer it is
expected that we know and understand color inside and out.
For the final product of my thesis
project I am thinking to compile all of my research and weekly work in to a
publication or having large-scale posters of each individual color projected on
to the wall. Another option would be to make it an interactive piece having
each color with its own book hanging on the wall and only when you open it is
when you learn about what the color means and the emotions it represents. I
plan on incorporating all different aspects of design with mostly illustrations
and typography. I want viewers to look at this thesis project from an
educational perspective
