COLOR REMEMBER TO TAKE NOTES Important underlined items.
The Color Wheel • Color • Hue, Intensity, & Value • Primary, Secondary, & Tertiary Colors • Warm Colors • Cool Colors • Neutrals • Color Schemes • Monochromatic, Complementary, & Analogous • Mixing Colors
The Color Wheel • The color wheel shows relationships between the colors. • Artists often use the color wheel to help understand how colors relate to one another.
COLOR • A sensation in our brains we experience when light hits our eyes in different wavelengths; referred to as HUE. http://indulgy.com/post/LHqjCgivb1/creative-colour-wheel
COLOR Properties of color: • HUE: the actual color (Red, Yellow etc.) • VALUE: lightness/darkness of a color. • INTENSITY: refers to the brightness and purity of a color. For example, bright red or dull red.
Primary Colors • 3 basic colors used to make all other colors! • Red, Blue Yellow
Secondary Color • Made from mixing primary colors together. • Orange, Green , Violet
Tertiary Color • Mixing a primary and secondary color. On the color wheel, the tertiary colors are located between the primary and secondary colors they are made from.
Warm Colors Warm Colors • Red, Orange, Yellow and anything in between. Think of the sun or fire.
Cool Colors • Blue, Green, Purple and anything in between. Think about the earth or water.
Neutrals • Don’t normally show up on the color wheel. Neutrals include BLACK, WHITE, GRAY AND BROWN. They are called “earth tones.:
Color Schemes • Colors that relate to one another in perfect harmony. • Types of Color Schemes: • Achromatic • Monochromatic • Analogous • Complementary • Split Complementary • Triadic
Achromatic • Without color, using just black, white and gray to achieve contrast in composition.
Monochromatic • Using just one color plus tint, tone and shade for value and contrast in composition. • An example of monochromatic color could include any color mixed with black or white.
Tints and Shades • A tint is created by adding white to a color. • A shade is created by adding black to a color. • Example adding white to green to make lighter values.
Analogous • Colors that are next to one another on the color wheel. Green, Yellow-Green, Yellow Red, Red-Orange, Orange
Complementary • Colors that are directly across from each other on the color wheel . • Red and Green • Yellow and Violet Orange and Blue
Split Complementary • This is like complementary except one of the complements is replaced by both colors on each side of it. • Includes a main color and the two colors on each side of its complementary (opposite) color on the color wheel. • Green with red-orange and red- violet
Triad • Any three colors that form an equal triangle in the color wheel. Red, Blue, Yellow Orange, Violet, Green etc.
What to do now? Practice • Create a color wheel in color pencil, using only the primary colors. (red, blue and yellow.) • Paint the color schemes worksheet using tempura paint, again using only the primary colors. • Monochromatic color practice.
Your Project • Radial Color wheel. • Using the template cut out a circle, the circle will be divided into 12 sections for all the colors on the color wheel. • Create your design. • The color wheel will be painted in a monochromatic color scheme for each color.
