Step 2: Warm and Cool Color Collage
Step 2: Warm and Cool Color Collage
Warm Colors appear to advance and make spaces feel cozy.
Cool Colors appear to recede and make spaces feel more open.
Create a 5"x7" collage composition with warm and cool colors to show space. Play around with placement of colors to create different effects. Layer warm over cool to create advancing effects, for example.
