Color Scale and Value Study- Art 3

Art 3

Color Scale - Your homework since the last class has been to research different way to create a color scale. We reviewed a few traditional methods of creating color scales including a COLOR WHEEL. We also saw some very complex designs that appeared to be 3-dimensional.

Project: You will have to create a color chart and a value scale. I asked you to put together a few sketches of different color scale designs for your project. The only thing you are required to include are 3 primary colors (red,blue,yellow), 3 secondary colors (violet, orange, and green), and 6 tertiary (yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, red-violet, red-orange, yellow-orange).
The value scale will be a series of 12 one inch squares which show a smooth transition from black to white.
Both the color scale you select and the value study will be completed using tempura or acrylic paints. Be ready to start on Wednesday by having your color scale designs ready to show me. We will have these complete before the Christmas holidays.
