COLOURS OF THE DEEP

So! It's time to create some squids and octopuses, those tricksters if ink and light that change how we see them from one second to the next. And to to celebrate colour and diversity.

The variety and complexity of colour and how it affects the way that we see the world around us, it's kind of amazing don't you think so?

Drawing, painting, photo manipulations, found object artworks, and more accepted as long as it sticks to the rules. Be as creative as you can.

Colour is defined as "the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way it reflects or emits light."
