This project will test your understanding of color and its more objective, measurable qualities. You will recreate Itten’s Color Wheel using only the primary colors (red, yellow, and blue). Below Itten’s Color Wheel I want you to lay out three gradient scales using the complimentary colors blue/orange, yellow/purple, and red/green.
Begin with a piece of mat board trimmed to 15"x20", often you can buy it pre-cut to this size. The exact center of your color wheel should be 7.5" inches from the top of your board and 7.5" from the left side. Set your compass to 3.5" so that it makes a perfect circle measuring 7" in diameter. Your color wheel should fit inside this circle.
The first compliment scale should begin 1" from the bottom of your color wheel. The scale itself is 1" high and 5" wide, thus you have room for five 1" squares. The first square should contain the yellow hue; the last square should contain the hue violet. The squares in between should gradually transition the viewer from one color to the other, so naturally the middle square should contain equal parts of both yellow and violet. The next scale orange/blue should begin ½” down from yellow/violet. The red/green scale should begin ½ down from red/green. 4" should remain at the bottom.

Project 3 Value: Due Nov 8th
This project will test your ability to describe light as it falls across your still life. As
you know, light reveals a form through a range of values (tones of gray). You will
learn to modify your lights and darks to suit your needs: emphasis, synchronicity,
composition, etc. Choose objects for your still life that tell us a story about you
and arrange them in a way that encourages dialog between the objects, but also
the viewer.
Begin with a piece of white mat board trimmed to 15"x16.5". Turn your mat board
so that the longest dimension (16.5") is running left to right. Measure down 3.25"
and across 3.25" and begin your 8"x10" picture window. You should notice that
your top and side margins measure 3.25", but your bottom margin measures
3.75".
Before you begin, use painter’s tape to mask off the boundaries of your image.
Then use the grid to help you draw the still life inside the picture window. Lightly
block in the proportions with your pencil and then paint it carefully with your black
and white gouache paints. Start off thinly laying in your darkest darks. As you
move up the value scale, lay in the lights with more pigment. The darkest areas
of your painting should be relatively thin; the brightest areas of your painting
should be relatively thick.
