Color Wheels and Value Scales!
I really had a great time creating my color wheel and value scale. It was exciting for me to get a chance to be creative, and to work with new mediums. I liked making the color wheel the best because I love using paints of any kind, so getting to mix paints was really an adventure for me. I think however that I might have purchased the wrong shade of cyan at my local art store. I had a great time experimenting and through trial and error on both projects, I was able to achieve a product that I know I tried my hardest on.
I think that the videos were really helpful. Without the videos I would have been a little lost on what to do. I had a rough idea of what a color wheel should look like, but the video really helped me get started. The most useful thing I learned from the video was to put the colors you are going to mix next to each other, it makes it easier to blend. I had no idea what a value scale even was until I saw that video, so it was really very useful to me.
I gained a true appreciation for mixing and blending colors through doing this project. It helped me realize where colors come from, and how adding more/less of a shade can greatly affect the color outcome.
Overall I enjoyed doing both of these projects and I look forward to more experimentation with art in the future!
