Color Wheel REDESIGN
Assignment Description:
In the art world the color wheel is a map that shows which colors mix to make others and color schemes (how colors work together). Without a basic knowledge of color mixing you would have a hard time with painting. We will start off the year learning how to start with Primary Colors (red, yellow and blue) and mix them to make all of the other colors to construct a color wheel.
There are three different types of colors.
The primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. The secondary colors are green, orange, and purple. And the tertiary colors are yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green, and yellow-green. These are the 12 colors that typically appear on a color wheel.
The first day you will walk through color mixing practice with me and we will paint a very basic color wheel. Worth 10 points.
After you understand the ratios for mixing colors, you will do some research and create a plan on how to REDESIGN the color wheel in a more creative way. You will need to have at least all 12 colors (see colors above). The colors in your project should be mixed using tempera paint. The colors also need to be in the correct order, but don't have to be in a circle shape. Be creative! Think of a different way to display these colors! Remember to keep the colors in the same order as in the color wheel so it still reminds the viewer of a color wheel.
