Color Research
Facts:
- the Latin word “caeruleus” which means heaven or sky.
- discovered in the late eighteenth century and designated as cerulean blue in the nineteenth century
- Cerulean blue was first synthesized in 1805 and was used mainly for painting skies due to its light blue color and excellent stability.
- In ancient times, there was a land called Cerulea, where a unique species of snail was first found. The land of Cerulea existed in what is now the north-eastern quadrant of Australia, in the time most attributed to the time of Atlantis.
This species is referred to as the cerulean snail . Its extremely poisonous. When the snail is threatened by an enemy, the snail will secrete a slimy substance through the pores in its body, effectively covering its entire body with the substance. Being extremely poisonous, this substance will kill any animal up to about 20 times the size of the snail. The extremely unique color of the substance is now generally known in the art world as Cerulean Blue.

Kaylee – these are great! I especially love the red-orange still life: there is something so weird (and wrong?!) about a bag of Doritos, Bath and Body Works lotion and a Sharpie together. What a strange combo. Strange is great! The yellow-orange trash bags, empty pill bottle and paint container are equally as strange. I love how just by placing 2 or three objects next to each other you start to develop a narrative.
Also much much much better on your documentation this week. The lighting and background are carefully considered and it really helps unify these as a series.
I dont see your documentation of the whole spectrum (in one photo). Also your artist response and color research.
