Radial Color Wheel Design

Radial Color Wheel Design. We see white because all color is reflected from the object. We see black because all colors are absorbed by the object. If you see red, what colors are absorbed? If you see green, what colors are being absorbed?

  1. Radial Color Wheel Design

  2. We see white because all color is reflected from the object.

  3. We see black because all colors are absorbed by the object.

  4. If you see red, what colors are absorbed? If you see green, what colors are being absorbed? If red and a little bit of blue are absorbed, what color would be reflected for you to see? Yellow and blue Red Red plus a little blue= red violet. So the opposite of red violet is yellow green (yellow green = yellow plus a little blue) The color that we see is the color combination that is NOT absorbed but is REFLECTED.

  5. Color Vocabulary • Chroma- Latin word for color (chroma and color are synonyms • Hue- The generic name for a color (red for example) • Pure color- a color at its brightest intensity (has no white or black added to it) • Tint- color plus white (pink, peach, etc) • Tone- color plus gray (army green or beige) • Shade- color plus black (maroon or navy blue) • Value- gray scale equivalent (yellow is a lighter value than red for example) • Intensity- how bright a color is (intensity is lessened when you add white or black) • A color is at its highest intensity when it is a pure color

  6. Levels of Color • Primary • Yellow, Blue and Red • Secondary • Violet, Orange and Green • Intermediate or Tertiary • Always say the primary before the secondary • Yellow green, blue green, blue violet, red violet, red orange and yellow orange

  7. Color Temperature • Warm • Yellow, Yellow orange, orange, red orange, red violet, Red • Cool • Yellow green, green, blue green, blue violet, violet • Neutral • Grays and most browns

  8. Color Scheme • Monochromatic- one pure color plus its tints and shades (color plus white and black) • Analogous- three to four colors on a color wheel (a color family- all related) • Complimentary- opposites on the color wheel • Local- realistic color

  9. Your color challenge: • Create a radial color wheel painting • Create a pie chart with twelve equal wedges. • Create at least two thumbnail sketches for what each wedge can be. • Each wedge should have the pure color and its complement (it can include tints and shades if you want) • LIGHTLY trace the pie chart onto your 18” x 18” watercolor paper. • Trace the wedge design that you want to use onto each wedge of the pie chart. • Begin painting.

  10. Subjects for your radial design: • Objects that can be used for this project: • Animals • People • Plants • Objects • Etc. • Things that cannot be used for this project: • Pizza slices • Ice cream cones • Clowns with pointed hats

  11. Due Dates: • Color Notes (daily grade) • Due Today (Wednesday or Thursday) • Thumbnail sketches and pie chart (daily grade) • Due Friday, 18th • Traced wedge design onto painting paper (daily grade) • Due Tuesday, 22nd • Color theory quiz (major grade) • Due Wednesday, 23rd or Thursday, 24th • Finished Colorwheel painting (major grade) • Due Friday, March 4th

  12. What is the main color? 2. How does everything in the picture relate to the main color?

  13. What each drawing must include • Main color (all six primary and secondary) • Tints and shades of the main color (color plus black and color plus white) • Contrasting color in the background (opposite on the color wheel) • Connecting object (at least one object that can be found in every drawing in the series)
