As the wonderful Ms. Stoklosa has taught, color theory would have to play a significant role in the creation of the obstructive piece. Similar to Jill Dowell's painting, we'd like to not paint something specific along the border or within the open space, but to simply have randomized splotches along the border of different colors to represent her creative freedom, with the blank space representative of her restricted mind. Color theory dictates colors are generally representative of certain emotions or concepts, and after reviewing each, we believe it would be best to avoid use of specifically green and yellow, that signify forms of health. Additionally, they aren't as potent colors, and wouldn't fit naturally with the rest of the colors, which would most likely be darker.
Another significant factor in characterization and tone-setting is costume design. My sister and I reviewed our closets and found that we practically wear only dark colors and definitely did not have clothes to fit our character and opening's tones. However, I found a thin white blouse and lightly faded jeans that she could wear, which looked fitting for the story, despite opposing some logical concern of if people would wear a semi-nice blouse and jeans to paint when paint would most likely get on them. We also didn't have a large selection, or really any other option for her to wear so let's chalk it up to her simply being extremely neat.
