Art Making/Material Exploration #1: Exploring Value and The Subtractive Color Theory


1. Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel.
I thought that it was very simple but educating. For the value scale, I thought that creating it was easy but it took some time to make sure each box was shaded to the correct shade. For the color wheel, mixing the colors together was kind of fun and I found it interesting.
2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why?
The media that I enjoyed working with was charcoal. I liked using charcoal because I enjoy the shading. I also like the texture of the charcoal while using it, although it is very messy. That was not a huge problem though.
3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?
The most important discovery in the creation of the studies was the way creating the color wheel. This was an important discovery for me because I mixed certain colors together to create the colors I needed for the color wheel.
4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?
The most important information I learned from watching the videos for this project was that blue and red are too dark to be primary colors and that light colors like magenta are missing from the color wheel. While learning about colors at a young age, we are told they are the red, blue, and yellow are primary colors but it turns out that they are not. I liked the video because it was short, sweet, and too the point.
