- 3. The color wheelfits together like a puzzle - each color in a specific place. Being familiar with the color wheel not only helps you mix colors when painting, but in adding color to all your art creations.
- 4. Primary Colors Primary Colors Primarycolors are not mixed from other elements and they generate all other colors. • Red • Yellow • Blue
- 5. Secondary Colors Secondary Colors Bymixing two primary colors, a secondary color is created. • Red + Yellow = Orange • Yellow + Blue = Green • Blue + Red = Purple
- 6. Intermediate, or Tertiary,colors are created by mixing a primary and a secondary. •red-orange •yellow-orange •yellow-green •blue-green •blue-purple •red-purple Tertiary Colors Tertiary Colors
- 7. Color values arethe lights and darks of a color you create by using black and white (‘neutrals”) with a color. This makes hundreds of more colors from the basic 12 colors of the wheel. • white + color = tint • color + black = shade
- 8. Tints are lightenedcolors. Always begin with white and add a bit of color to the white until the desired tint is obtained. This is an example of a value scale for the tints of blue. Tints Tints
- 9. Shades are darkenedcolors. Always begin with the color and add just a bit of black at a time to get the desired shade of a color. This is an example of a value scale for the shades of blue. Shades Shades
- 10. The principles ofcolor mixing let us describe a variety of colors, but there are still many colors to explore. The neutral colors contain equal parts of each of the three primary colors. Black, off-black, white, off- white, gray and sometimes brown are considered "neutral”. Neutral Colors Neutral Colors
- 11. Warm colors arefound on the right side of the color wheel. They are colors found in fire and the sun. Warm colors make objects look closer in a painting or drawing. Warm Warm
- 12. This is anillustration of the use of warm colors - reds, oranges, yellows and greens.
- 13. Cool colors arefound on the left side of the color wheel. They are the colors found in snow and ice and tend to recede in a composition. Cool Cool
- 14. Note the coolcolor scheme in this painting (greens, purples and blues).
- 15. Hue – Theactual color, such as red or green. A hue can be changed by adding tone, example - white to lighten, black to darken Chroma – the intensity of the color Tone – the amount of black or white in a color. 3 Basic Elements 3 Basic Elements
- 16. Key Points • Colorsare either __primary_____, ___________, or _____________. (three colors from the color wheel) • Colors can be used to create _________ and _________. (use your paper from last class) • Color is always affected by light and texture.
- 17. Color Schemes area systematic way of using the color wheel to put colors together… in your art work, putting together the clothes you wear, deciding what colors to paint your room….. monochromatic, complementary, analogous, warm and cool.
- 18. “Mono” means “one”,“chroma” means “color”… monochromatic color schemes have only one color and its values. The following slide shows a painting done in a monochromatic color scheme. Monochromatic Monochromatic
- 19. These non-objective paintings havea monochromatic color scheme - blue, yellow, red and the values (tints and shades) of blue, yellow and red.
- 20. Complementary colors areopposite on the color wheel provided a high contrast - if you want to be noticed wear complementary colors! Complementary Complementary
- 21. These pictures have complementarycolors and their values.
- 22. Like complementary colors,split-complementary colors are also opposite each other, but include three or four colors, not just two. Split-complementary contains the actual color (hue) and the two colors on either side of its complement. Split-Complementary Split-Complementary
- 23. The analogous colorscheme is 3-5 colors adjacent to each other on the color wheel. This combination of colors provides very little contrast. Analogous Analogous
- 24. Analogous colors are illustratedhere: yellow, yellow- green, green and blue-green & purple, red-purple, red, red-orange and orange
- 25. Designating color perceived tohave zero saturation and therefore no hue, such as neutral grays, white, or black Achromatic Achromatic
