Color Theory

1. Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel.

While creating the color wheel I thought about high school art class, and how much I enjoyed learning about art, back then. In high school they taught us that the primary colors were red, blue, yellow. I also forgot how amazing it truly is to mix two different colors and have a completely new color outcome. When I was creating the value scale, I had thought about a college studio class I had taken. I love drawing in graphite and charcoal. Creating these were fairly easy for me because art comes natural to me.

2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why?

I enjoy working with charcoal the best because I like to smudge the charcoal with my finger to create different values. It is easy to erase and hide mistakes. Working with it is fun too!

3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?

The most important discovery I found in the creation of these were the truths about the real primary colors. It blew my mind that I had not known this. The more I read about this the more it all made sense. These are the same primary colors that my printer uses.

4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?

The most important thing that I have learned from the videos are the old way of primary colors is due to the lack of scientific evidence that leads to the real primary colors. The videos were great, I feel that they explained how to create these projects well.
