As I was in Principles of Horticulture class, I realized that this knowledge applies to human aswell. So these are what nature intended to be. These are descriptions for things in nature (trees, plants, etc.) but applied to our needs. Here are the class notes!
Texture:
Definition:The amount of light and shadow cast by a your clothes.
Lots of shadow = Coarse textured. Caused by bigger and more cloth. So baggy clothes have more shadows.
Little shadow = Fine textured. Caused by smaller and fewer cloth. So tight shirts have less shadows.
Feel:
Coarse textured - rushed, threatened, annoying, bold, rustic, informal
Fine textured - restraint, refined, quiet, neat, formal, elegant
Color
Definition:Tends to be the first of the elements that draws the eye in a design.
Basic colors: Yellow, green, blue, violet, red, orange
"Warm" colors are yellow, orange, red. These colors appear closer than reality to the eye. The eye sees warm colors first.
"Cool" colors are blue, green, violet. These colors appear farther away than reality. The eye sees cool colors after seeing warm colors.
Color combinations
1. Monochromatic: one color and its tints and shades. So a light to dark brown, or some red with pink.
2. Contrasting: opposite colors on the color wheel. Ex: Red and Green; yellow and violet
3. Triad: 3 colors equally spaced around the color wheel. Ex: Red, yellow, blue
green, violet, orange
4. Analagous: 1 color from the wheel plus a second and third color next to it on the wheel.
Ex: Blue, green, violet
The color black, brown, white,and gray are neutral. These colors combine with any others.
