COLOR: Color Wheels

Today we began working with color. The slide lecture covered various vocabulary and five different color schemes. After the lecture students made color wheels. The color wheels made today are slightly different than the one above. The layout was the same but each color was divided in half. One half of a circle illustrating a thin application allowing the paper to show through. The other half received a second coat of paint increasing the opacity.

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.
