Assignment 1 of 7

The Bezold Effect
Wilhelm von Bezold, a 19th Century rug designer, discovered an optical interaction effect, which now carries his name: the Bezold Effect. He found that he could change the entire appearance of his designs by substituting a different color for the color which occupied the most area.
Experimenting with the findings of Bezold, the goal of this assignment is to create a repetitive design in which the total effect is that the change of one dominant hue alters completely one's perception of the other hues. Using colored paper, students create an example of this effect by making 4 designs that share everything in common except for one color difference in each.

Each design should alter the visual field of the colors in regard to hue, intensity or value. The overall tone of the design may shift from warm to cool, dark to light, or bright to dull.
