High Key and Low Key

This assignment was to show high key and low key contrast. Simply put, the left is as if the lights were on and the right is as if the lights were turned off or a shade pulled down. I used a combination of the three primary colors with the addition of the secondary color green. In the High Key piece, I tried to keep the colors as close to their "tube" pigment as possible, with the addition of some red to the yellow and white to the blue to create perspective depth. For the Low Key piece, I took those same colors and added black to mute their intensity. This piece was created in my Color Design (ART 111) class at Bellevue College.
