Blog #16: 2 Hour Meeting Answer #2

1. My essential question is:
 What is the best way to create a decorative art themed wedding cake?

2. What I have decided to make my second answer to be is color.

3. The reason I believe that color is so significant to my essential question is because of three main reasons. The first reason that color is so important is that color can define what is going on, for example, when you typically think of elegant colors, like white, black, or silver, you would think of a wedding, not typically a birthday or Valentine's day. Another reason that color is so significant is that color can bring life to what can be a possibly dull cake. Just like in any art, not only is the way the artist does his or her painting or photography, without the use of color, it can possibly be a dull and boring image or sculpture. The last reason that color is my answer is because during my research, I had found an article that I plan on using (Click here), it had said the color cannot only add unity and contrast to a design, but the colors we use can actually affect the emphasis you piece has.

4. Like I had said, the link I had mentioned before has definitely helped my realize that color should be my answer, but also from talking to mentor, Ashley, about the topic while working in the bakery.

5. I plan to continue my study on my answer 2 by finding my articles on why color is useful in art, and asking more questions during mentorship to get more information from an expert in the field.
