Tequila sunrise…

On a scrap piece of paper each student will write a phrase no more than a sentence that they feel conveys a set of color relationships within a color harmony of their choice (monochromatic, tetradic, analogous, etc.) They will then put the paper on the teachers desk. Each student will select a sheet of paper and determine a color harmony of their own interpretation based on the reading of this phrase. These will be the colors used in the next Grid and free painting due March 12.

Hmwrk #6

Bring in depth project proposals, they will be discussed as a class.

Make a grid and free painting  that uses warm cool contrast. You may pick the warm and cool colors. Think interesting but balanced. Don’t over do it.

Using ONLY color and simple shapes create 5 combinations that evoke different moods, feelings, or personalities. DO NOT LABEL, we will discuss in class. The combinations should focus on contrast of extension to develop the desired effect. THESE SHOULD NOT BE RECOGNIZABLE OBJECTS.

Hmwrk #5

Continue to build on your proposals we discussed in class. Bring me thought through sketches and correlating ideas about how each contrast fits with each mapped section.

Add 3 prismatic or saturated colors and 3 achromatic grays from the complement scales to your grid and free paintings from Monday.

Also create 4 boxes. 2 using tints and shades and 2 using compliment mixtures. Each should have 5 shapes that have the illusion of space through the use of color and form.

Hmwrk #4

Use the muted colors from your complementary scale to create fill in an 8x8 grid and a free painting in your signature.

You should also have an informal proposal for your first project to discuss in class. Please have it in writing.
