In order to paint effectively and efficiently you must gain an understanding of how the color wheel works.
In this introductory assignment I am asking you to re-invent the color wheel to make it a more personal experience while also practicing the fundamentals of paint mixing. The assignment breakdown is as follows:
FOR NOW, YOU MAY ONLY USE RED, YELLOW AND BLUE TO ARRIVE AT YOUR COLORS.
SKETCHBOOK ASSIGNMENT 1: In your sketchbook on the first page, generate at least 3 loose ideas for your creative color wheel. (keep them quick and loose) see the sketchbook page for ideas
Practice mixing and painting starting with the 3 primary colors: Red, Blue and Yellow. Keep practicing until you have mastered all 12 colors.
Meet with me and we'll agree on 1 of your color wheel ideas that will be worked to completion. Receive your first sketchbook grade check.
1: Create a "wheel" of some sort that has a minimum of 12 spaces. This "wheel" should make some sense of how colors mix between the primaries to secondaries and intermediate colors (see below).
2: Please, let the color wheel show an element of yourself. Make it fun for you! Let the beginnings of your creativity out so that you can make the most of this routine exercize.
3: The spaces in which you will display your color mixing should be roughly 1.5-2 inches.
4: Mix and apply paint to the appropriate spaces using proper technique and efficient mixing.
5: Consider filling the page and making it more of a composition than something plopped in the middle of the paper.
6: Consider labeling the spaces neatly and with purpose.
