Self Portrait, Nadine Brown |
Above is the first attempt of the stencil made for this project:
There are four layers to this particular stencil print. As a first attempt this went exceptionally well, unfortunately I had a slight error with trying to make more of a depth, the darker blue makes me look like I have a beard.
The use of a limited colour palette, has been selected on the basis of meaning and symbolism. I chose to use a range of blues and a hint of white.
Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability. It symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven.
Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body. It slows human metabolism and produces a calming effect. Blue is strongly associated with tranquility and calmness. In heraldry, blue is used to symbolize piety and sincerity.
White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. It is considered to be the color of perfection.
White means safety, purity, and cleanliness. As opposed to black, white usually has a positive connotation. White can represent a successful beginning. In heraldry, white depicts faith and purity.
