11/7/11 2D Design


Today's Class- Today we started our study of color. We talked about the physical properties of color, the materials used to make pigments, and how it's used in art. Students then did a series of portfolio exercises related to basic color theory.

How to make this up- The class did three portfolio exercises involving basic color theory. They produced a color wheel, a complement mix, and a series of tints and shades of a single hue. Above are two examples from previous semesters. The full directions to complete these exercises, and additional examples, can be found here.

These are portfolio exercises that must be made up by the end of the semester.

Homework- The completed wood block is due at the beginning of class on November 14, 2011.

For next class 11/14/11- Bring your 18" x 24" pad, pencil and eraser, all painting materials (acrylic paints, brushes, palette, palette knife, water container), scissors and glue. We will print the wood blocks and start a new graded project about color temperature.
