I took these pictures at Hobby Lobby and Goodwill. It wasn't too difficult finding these color schemes, I didn't actually have to arrange anything. Most of the arrangements were in a monochromatic scheme, especially at Hobby Lobby with their holiday arrangements. It was a fun experience going out and seeing how companies will arrange their objects by color to gain aesthetic appeal.

This bra represents an overall idea of consumption. This doesn’t exclusively include the consumption of food, but consuming of all types, media, gossip, etc., but in excessive amounts, represented by the many forks, spoons and knives.
With these colors being the primary colors, meaning that they can be mixed to form any other color, it represents that it covers the whole spectrum of personalities and people, that anyone can be an excessive consumer. The physical qualities of the bra, specifically the sharpness and jagged cuts, represents that the habit of over-consuming something may be harmful to some degree. With the painting, I cropped out the area of the initial college that had at least one obscurity. I wanted to make sure the painting was as interesting if not more interesting than the collage. Using the triad color scheme (yellow-green, blue-violet, red-orange) was interesting. I've never been too fond of these colors being together, I wanted to pose a challenge for myself. Working with them by organizing and balancing their values, however, I found ways to make it all visually interesting, at least to me, and especially with the sharpie to really enclose the shapes.
