The objective of this project is to translate a scientific microscopic image into a believable spatial environment by using composition and color to communicate depth. Students will develop multiple value-based compositions to explore spatial organization, then use color relationships contrast, chroma, and temperature shifts to create clear foreground, middle ground, and background. Guided by a landscape reference, the final work should transform complex microscopic structures into a recognizable environment while demonstrating control of perception through thoughtful visual decisions rather than copying source images.
