Abstract
In the Americas, natural and anthropogenic landscapes are sometimes together a small and authentic universe of color whose properties are manifested in terms of physical, perceptual and physiological; the natural and human tissue is identified visually and formally through its chromaticity. Spaces contributes to the identification of light and color, the perception of which varies according to natural factors (exposure, latitude and altitude - day/night, seasons, weather conditions) and artificial (materials, textures, etc. ..). In these conditions you can find the "color areas", even unconsciously perceived, characterized by the effects they produce (comfort, oppression, closed, barrier) or simply by their aesthetic value. A similar process is recorded in our sensitivity when - in an urban environment – basing on a "favorable" perception, we favor a "color area" among others. The contribution wants to propose, through a series of sketches and drawings, a sequence of color images made by the author during a trip of over 1000 km, divided between the cities of Quebec, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, etc.. , and the boundless landscapes of the Canadian parks, on that occasion there was a wide variety of chromatic effects, linked both to nature (such as atmospheric, the color of the sky, sunrise sunset, etc..) and to the intervention of man.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
