COLOR: Color Schemes

Adin (work in progress)

Today the class continued working on the Color Schemes project. The painting above is a "work in progress" illustrating a monochromatic cool color scheme in green. In general these designs are most effective when a strong gradation is established.

COLOR: Color Wheel and Schemes

Today the class began working with COLOR. First, each student made a color wheel to gain an understanding of how to work with the paint and mix colors. The 12 step wheel above illustrates the three primary colors-red, yellow and blue, three secondary colors- orange, green and violet and the tertiary colors- yellow/orange, yellow/green, red/orange, red/violet, blue/green, blue/violet. We also began working on the Color Schemes project. The students drew the same symmetrical design on six pieces of paper to later be painted with a different color scheme presented in the class discussion.

COLOR SCHEMES continued

Students continued working on their color schemes. A column of six is complete. From top to bottom: monochromatic cool and warm, analogous, complementary, split-complementary, and lastly the triad. The key to a successful, balanced and unified image is to consider the value relationships as well as the color.
