COLOR SCHEMES

Yesterday the class continued working on their color schemes project. These are due Monday morning. Next week we start drawing in One and Two Point Linear Perspective. Bring rulers.

The class continued working on the color schemes project. Tomorrow is the last day to work on this project in class. We will critique them Monday morning before starting One-Point Linear Perspective.

COLOR: Color Schemes

Last Wednesday the class started working on designs for the color schemes project. Below are some good examples. Be sure to have your designs transferred and ready to paint when we return from Spring Break.

COLOR: Color Schemes

Alison

Students continued working on their color schemes project this week. The examples above illustrate the cool and warm monochromatic schemes. We will critique them first thing on Monday before moving onto Linear Perspective (bring: Bristol, pencils, erasers, rulers and pens).

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.

Austyn

Jackie

Today we critiqued the Color Schemes project from last week. The two examples above are particularly well executed with bold colors, strong, contrasting values and symmetrical compositions, although Austyn painted hers asymmetrically.

COLOR: Color schemes

This week and next Tuesday, the class will be working on their color schemes project. Next Tuesday's class will end with a critique of the project.

COLOR: Color Schemes cont.

Last Friday the class continued working on their color schemes project. The paintings were critiqued at the end of class. The work is due next Friday at which time we will discuss texture.

COLOR SCHEMES

Amanda Edgar: Monochromatic (Warm)

Yesterday the class continued working on their color schemes project. Amanda's painting above is an example of a warm, monochromatic color scheme in red. Remember that adding white or black to a color only changes its value and not the hue. Notice how these additions to red alter the color making it appear like more than one color was applied.

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.

Here is a mere sample of the excellent work students of Art 3 Summer 2012 have created. Everyone made exceptionally well crafted and designed paintings. This project was inspired by the work of Victor Vasarely.
