Off to a great start!!

I'm thrilled to be back in the art room!  We are already starting are color wheel project.  I am excited to see everyone's unique plans.  For my students who were out on Friday, we worked on sketching out an idea for the color wheel project.

Here is the assignment/color vocab sheet:

The Color Wheel Project Requirements

NOTE: 3 Total Color Schemes

·         A well-measured/divided colorwheel with all 12 primaries, secondaries, and tertiary colors in order

·         Your choice of subject matter that is school appropriate

·         2 additional color schemes which may include: Monochromatic (1 color+white and black), a black and white value scale, analogous (3-4 side by side colors on the color wheel), or complementary colors (opposites on the color wheel) other color scheme options are available if you speak to me about it.

In your sketchbook/on a separate piece of paper make a small sized planning sketch of what your large sized color wheel painting will look like.  Consider your subject matter—are you a sci-fi/fantasy person (how could you incorporate that), do you love nature? How could you incorporate that?  Do you love to shop? Are you a history buff?

Vocabulary that is helpful for the color wheel project.

Color Wheel-a chart that shows the relationship of different colors to each other.

Hue-another word for color

Primary colors-colors from which all other colors are made (red, blue, and yellow), 1^st colors, cannot be made from mixing other colors

Tertiary colors (Intermediate Colors)-colors made from equal amounts of a pair of primary and secondary colors (red-violet, blue-violet, blue‐green, yellow‐green, yellow‐orange, red-orange)

Analogous colors-3-4 hues that are next to each other on the color wheel

Complementary colors-the colors opposite to each other on the color wheel: (red & green, blue & orange, yellow & violet).

Tint-a color plus white, also called pastels

Monochromatic-having one color (or using different tints and shades of the same color in an artwork)
