Restorative Art - Colour and Cosmetics

Rods (Receptors):

(Most important part) are the rods which respond to various degrees of light.

Hue, brightness (Chroma) & saturation

5 Classes of Hues

Chromatic Colors

A color having hue, a visible color in the spectrum

high, low

A light value is ____, a dark value is ___

Juxtaposition

A simultaneous contrast. Any two colors seen together modify each other in the direction of their complement

oil

All cosmetics do not require powder, only those with ___ base

the influence of an adjacent color

Appearance of color may also be affected by

complete absence of light

Black is not as dark as the

Dispersion

Breaking up the sunlight into seven different colors is know as

warm hues

Closest to infrared (heat) waves, have the longer wave lengths.

Achromatic Color

Color not found in the visible spectrum, neutral color, white, gray, silver.

green, blue, indigo, violet

Transparent, translucent, opaque

Cosmetic Classifications (3)

Hue

First dimension of colour, refers to name and warmness or coolness of colour.

Fringe

Focus on a hue, a band of contrasting brightness or darkness produced will appear which is known as

Cool Hues

Have the shortest wave length., absorb heat rays of sunlight and make them seem cool or chilly.

Complimentary hues

Hues that lie opposite each other on the color wheel

In appearance the hue bears the resemblances of each of the of the two hues. Yellow-orange, Yellow-green, Blue-Green, Blue-Purple, Red-Purple, red-orange, These are the six intermediate hues. The six intermediate, three primary, three secondary, make form the color wheel of twelve colors

Intermediate Hues (produced when a primary and its adjourning secondary are mixed in equal strengths)

North Rooms

Light entering a room from the north is unchangingly cool. No direct sunlight enters the windows and that which does is reflected light.

very individual with each person. People vary in their ability to perceive color such as past experiences of associations.

Perception of color is

1. Yellow to Green: Jaundice 2. Bronze: Addison's Disease 3. Green: Decomposition 4. Gray: Arterial injection fluid 5. Purple: Postmortem Stain, contusion, hospital marking 6. Yellow-brown: Dehydration

White objects

Reflects all colour

Orange, Green, Purple (indigo)

Secondary Hue (equal mixture of two primary hues)

Red, yellow, blue, orange, green, purple (indigo)

Standard Hues (Both primary and second hues, as shown on a colour wheel)

Dulled Grayed hues and the brown & slate colors not on color wheel

Tertiary Hues

the wave-length of light it reflects

The color of an object is identified by

Absorption

The process of taking in color. An object absorbs certain rays of light, which illuminates it while the others rays are reflected. I.e. an apple absorbs all colours except red, which is reflected to make ir appear red.

Reflection

The return of light rays from a surface, the bending or folding back a part upon itself.

Value

The second dimension of color, the lightness or darkness of a hue

- Liquid cosmetics - Cream cosmetics - Powder Cosmetics

Three types of external color restoration

- Powder puff - Brush - Atomizer (When least amount of powder is needed. Fine Mist)

Tools for powder applications

Internal Method (dyes in arterial solution during embalming) and External method (Applying external color to the skin)

Two methods of restoring color

Liquid, cream, and spray cosmetics (aerosoal bombs, manual pumps, airbrush)

Type of opaque cosmetics

- Drying powder (not pigmented) - Tinting powder (pigmented and drying) - Pigmented powder (not used for drying, only colour)

Types of powder

Lips, cheeks, ears, chin, lower part of nose, forehead, and knuckles of the hand.

Monochromatic Colors

a color scheme involving one hue, tints tones and shades of one hue.

Analogous Color

a color scheme involving two or more hues which lie adjacent to each other on the color wheel and contain the same hue in each.

Double Complements

a color scheme of four hues, two adjacent hues on the color wheel and their compliments

Split Complementary

a color scheme of three hues, the two hues on either side of the direct complement.

Triad Colors

a color scheme that involves three hues, as near as possible and should be at least three hues from each other on the color wheel

Tone

a hue mixed with small amount of gray or its compliment, dulling or making less intense. A grayed hue.

Shade

a hue with various quantities of black mixed. Black darkens the value

Tint

a hue with various quantities of white mixed. White dilutes the color or lightens the value

Additive Method

a process of mixing colored lights on a surface on which the wave lengths of each are combined: adding two or more colored lights together to create another color of light

After Image

Black objects

absorb all colors

ROY G BIV (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet)

Bi-directional rooms

light enter from two directions with both warm and cool light. The predominating light should influence the selection of the hues

West Rooms

light entering room is mainly warm. Cool light enters for only a short period of the day.

Eastern Rooms

light entering the room from the east is mainly cool. Warm light enters for only a few hours

Diffused lighting

light rays are scattered in all directions from the light source. Same as flat lighting. Or indirect lighting. The Face can be equally illuminated with little contrast or shadows.

Semi-Diffused lighting

light rays that are bounced off an object

Subtractive method

method of diminishing the wave lengths of light by superimposing two or more color transparencies over the same light source; the light is gradually reduced by absorption of colors in the light

Point Lighting

movement of light rays in a straight line. Creates shadows

South Rooms

natural light entering a room form the south is warm and bright, and continues for many hours of the day
