The thesis focuses on the artistic interpretation of food ingredients selected for a weekly menu, presented through digital collage. The aim of the thesis is to assemble and design a work of art from photographed fruit in the composition of a table setting and to present the primary colours from the colour wheel.
The theoretical part explains the artistic definition of colours and its psychological effects. The perception of light takes place with the help of our visual organ – the eye. The concepts of additive and subtractive colour mixing are discussed, emphasising their importance in the creative process. Particular attention is given to Itten’s colour wheel, which classifies colours into primary, secondary, and tertiary. The vast array of colour combinations, including dyads and triads, found in both art and everyday life, is also explored.
The experimental part presents a photographic exploration of five ingredients: lemons, strawberries, oranges, grapes, and green apples. These serve as a foundation for a series of experimental collages that explore the interplay of colour, shape, and texture. The resulting abstract compositions can be used as a basis for designing a weekly menu in kindergartens or primary schools, textiles, and other creative projects.
The results of the thesis contribute to the development of visual language research. The created collages represent an experimental interpretation of digital photographs using the collage technique for the visual presentation of food.
