ch. 2 response + scans + sketchy ideas

Which will work better in your design, a limited or wide range of hues?
I feel that a limited range of hues would work out the best. I have some key parts of the design that I really want to clearly show and so if I have such a wide range, it might become a little too hectic.

What happens when your composition is dominated by earth colors and chromatic grays? How does it change when an intense color is added?
Most likely, the intensity of the composition will diminish since that tends to happen when colors are mixed. The colors with the highest intensity would therefore have to be the primary colors and if added to other colors, can actually help to bring vibrancy to the composition.

What are the differences in use of color in Andrew Wyeth's Wind from the Sea and Richard Diebenkorn's Interior with Book?

Wyeth’s Wind from the Sea uses subtle browns and greens to give off a more nostalgic feeling. By using low-intensity colors, I took everything in as a whole. However, Diebenkorn definitely delves into his high-intensity color palette and really illuminates his painting with bright, primary colors. It gives off more of an abstract and playful feeling. The bright yellow and orange colors really caught my attention and caused me to focus more there as opposed to the blue walls/sky.

                                                                                                                                                       


                                                                                                                                                     
So this is the idea that I had in mind. I plan to do my project based on a desire of mine: to have more time and money. I'm going to create a clock made up of money with dollar bills acting as the shorthand/longhand, coins acting as the seconds/those 5-minute increments. I plan to add wings because time flies... and time is money (so you see where the dollar bills/coins come in!!!). 

side note: I don't know what to make the wings out of yet... so that's something to think about.
