Contrast and Kaleidoscopes

The following are four kaleidoscopes I have made using photos from Project 4. I chose photos with vibrant colors and cool patterns to make the kaleidoscopes interesting. After the four kaleidoscopes are some photos that show contrast through texture and color.

The first kaleidoscope I made was of the light I used in one of my diptychs. I liked the colors so created a patter in the kaleidoscope that some what makes you dizzy.

This second kaleidoscope is one of a painting of a mad I had done. I enjoyed how the hair created interesting shapes in white. This kaleidoscope is also a monochrome. 

My third kaleidoscope is a candle taken in the dark. I repeated the image many times to make a design which turned out nicely.

The last kaleidoscope is my favorite. The picture I used was of a colorful zebra figurine from Mexico. I really liked the pattern and how it reflected throughout the kaleidoscope. 

This first photo shows contrast through color. The bright red leaves stand out against the grey blue sky. I edited the colors to get this effect. 

This second photo uses color contrast as well. The bright red of the BLOOD (food coloring die), contrasts against the black and white of the split apple.

Another contrast photo, but this one shows contrast through texture; the clumpy sticky sap texture of the sap against the rough tree bark.

My last photo shows contrast through texture also. The peely/crusty bark of the tree contrasts with the smooth, already peeled bark.
