Assignment
Create a 3-IMAGE ARC where the PALETTE SHIFTS tell the story: define 3 different 3-color palettes for each stage. Image 1 uses palette A, image 2 uses palette B, image 3 uses palette C. The palette transition IS the emotional narrative.
Criteria: 3 images visible. Each uses a distinct 3-color palette. The palettes form a progression (not random). Palette change is the primary narrative device. Each palette contains only its designated 3 colors (plus black/white for value).
Intents
- The submission will display three separate images, each clearly labeled (Image 1, Image 2, Image 3), forming a sequential visual arc.
- Each image will use only its assigned 3-color palette (plus black/white for value); no color will appear in more than one image.
- The palettes will progress visibly and narratively: Image 1 uses cool-muted (pale blue, slate gray, muted lavender), Image 2 uses intense-vivid (vivid crimson, electric violet, golden yellow), Image 3 uses warm-soft (warm terracotta, olive green, dusty peach).
- The emotional arc will be legible through palette shift alone: calm detachment (cool-muted), energetic climax (intense-vivid), peaceful resolution (warm-soft).
- Composition and lighting will reinforce the emotional state in each image, but the primary narrative device will remain the color palette progression.
Scene Prompt
**3-IMAGE ARC: "Interior Weather"**
**Image 1 – Calm Detachment (Palette A: pale blue, slate gray, muted lavender)**
A nearly empty rectangular room, viewed from a slight overhead angle. The lone figure sits cross-legged on the smooth floor, back slightly rounded, under a tall, narrow window set high in the wall.
- Walls and daylight streaming through the window are rendered in *pale blue* (soft, cool, diffuse).
- The floor and window frame are *slate gray* (neutral, grounding).

Strengths
- Strong, clear use of a cool-muted palette.
- Composition and lighting reinforce the intended emotional state.
- Palette control and harmony are evident.
Weaknesses
- Only one image submitted; assignment requires three.
- No palette progression or narrative arc is possible.
- No labeling or sequence is present.
Recommendation
Resubmit with all three images, each using its distinct palette, clearly labeled and forming a visible narrative progression through color. The current work shows technical promise, but does not fulfill the assignment.
