Color Theory

Students have finished their color wheels and scales and learned all about Color Theory!  After our color wheels and scales we moved onto one day of grid drawing to begin practicing for their final project in the color theory unit.  Students are currently working on their final project by using a picture of themselves to transfer a drawing from one smaller grid to a larger grid.  As a class we have divided all of our faces into 4-6 different shades and students will be applying a color scheme to their faces.  We in the end stages of finishing our drawings and beginning our painting. 

This project will be due Tuesday 10/15!

Things to remember while completing this project:

1. Draw lightly, you may have to erase your pencil lines if you use light colors (including your grid lines)!!
2. When mixing your colors, make sure you are mixing enough to cover ALL of that number
• For instance, if you have purple as your 3rd shade/color and you have a lot of space to cover, mix more than enough paint to cover your entire area.  The chances of you getting the same purple again are VERY SLIM!  **Mix in container!**
3. Paint light colors FIRST!
4. Paint neatly and cleanly!  Stay inside the lines and make solid edges!
