What’s In
As you may notice, there are two girls playing on a sandy beach. This
image gives us an idea about colour and gaze. To understand the idea of
colour, the following questions will be of help:
- What colours do you see?
- What colours are dark? Which are bright?
- What feeling is evoked by black? Brown? Red? Purple? Blue?
- Seeing these colours, how do you feel about the image?
To understand the idea of gaze, take note and try to answer these
questions:
- Do the subjects directly look at you?
- Do the subjects acknowledge you as a viewer? Why do you say so?

What’s New
Colour
Colour has different properties. Its three basic properties are the hue,
brightness, and saturation.
Hue refers to basic colours we have such as yellow, blue, red, green,
orange, purple, and others.
9
Saturation refers to how pure the colour is. This can range from a vivid
bright colour which is fully saturated (100%), to a desaturated colour which
is less colourful, more washed out and dull.
Colour spectrum
Colour can also be ranged along a spectrum from warm colours to cool
colours. Shades of red, orange, and yellow are considered to be warm colours,
while cool colours are those using greens and blues and aqua.
• Red: love, rage, fire, anger, heat, passion, warmth, urgency, blood,
excitement, power, danger, warfare, hostility, appetite, health,
courage, majesty, aggression. Red is often used as an accent colour
to make things stand out.
10
yellow can signify cowardice, ruin, shame, illness, decadence
(Zammitto, 2005).
Subject gaze
There are only two options for subject gaze: direct gaze, or no-gaze.
Direct Gaze
When the subject gazes directly at the viewer, this simulates eye contact
and positions the viewer as a participant in the interaction. Direct subject
gaze, are looking directly at the viewer, demands the viewer’s attention and
for us to share the experience. Subject gaze creates a connection between the
subject and the viewer, simulating a powerful personal connection.
No gaze
This is the most common type of image. As seen in the image the
subject’s eyes are turned away from the viewer. This positions us as an
observer to what is happening. The subject does not acknowledge the viewer
and we are kept outside the story world.

1. What colours do you see in this image?
