Today's Class- Tonight we started a new graded project involving specific color combinations, sometimes referred to as an artist's palette. Sometimes artists will choose colors that are not based on the local colors of objects/scenery or just random combinations, but rather colors that have specific relationships. We looked at examples of fine art, discussing the effect of different color strategies in each. After that, students started on the project, a few examples of which are shown above.How to make this up- Start by using pencil to divide a sheet of your 18" x 24" paper into 4 equal quadrants. Choose a black and white photograph that has a wide range of value tones and a subject that you feel comfortable drawing. Sketch the composition of the photo in all four parts of the paper, then color each with your acrylic paints using 4 different palette options.

Homework- This Limited Color Palettes graded project is due at the beginning of class on April 21, 2011. The Color Temperature (Seasons) project started last week is due at the beginning of class on April 14, 2011.
For next class 4/14/11- We will start a new graded project involving mixed media collage. Bring your 18" x 24" pad, pencil and eraser, all painting related materials, markers, scissors, and glue. Also bring the completed Color Temperature collage.
