Camouflage Camouflage is a French word and means deception or masking. Its purpose is not to make the object invisible, but make it harder to detect for the observer. Becoming a different thing in total, by using the same color and pattern as the surroundings, or give the object a resemble to something else. By using, contrast, lying still, eliminating shadows, transparency, silvering and a resemblance to the background you can achieve camouflage. 7 ways to Camouflage: Mimesis, here you have two objects that has the same appearance, sound, scent, behaviour or just the same location. Crypsis, is the ability to avoid observation from others by blending in with the surroundings. - In both Mimesis and crypsis they use camouflage to achieve not being noticed. As you can se in the photo by Liu Bolin, who paints people into invisibility with the backgrounds colors. Motion dazzle, the observer gets confused with a pattern, making the object difficult to identify right away. Distruptive coloration is patterns such as spots or stripes to break up the forms of the object. The military is using this type of camouflage on their uniforms or vehicles to blend in with the surroundings. Self-decorating, with the help of the environment, by using twigs, sand or shell you can conceal the outlines of the object so that it will be difficult to spot. Countershading to create an illusion of flatness, by using graded colour to counteract the effect. Self-shadowing makes the object appear darker below then it does on top. Counterillumination, making light that matches the background so the object will look like a dark shape when seen from below, and then be difficult to detect. Architect Civil applications are making buildings look like something there not. The house in Portugal, named House of stone, by Feliciano Guimaraes. Makes the building less conspicuous. Blending the construction in WITH something else or ON something else. Fashion and Art The camouflage came in to fashion when the First World War was going on. Many different designers have used the camouflage expression, and more recently the fashion designers have used camouflage for the patterned disorder and its symbolism. In art artist have used it to confuse the observer or make two different pictures in one picture. And then make it up to the observer to decide the expression of the art piece for themselves. With camouflage you can make different meanings to one piece. Hide things, lie about the truth of an object, and make it up to the observer to detect what you want them to se!
