Class Project: Color Project:

Objectives:

1) "Seeing" color.

2) Color Analyzing

3) Color mixing to match colors.

4) Observing how color can change fast in the mixing process.

5) Incorporating another artist's color scheme into your own work.

We will be using acrylic paints and 2 acrylic papers. You will choose an artist of your choice for their exciting color scheme. You will then choose a piece of their artwork and make a color copy of it. The copy will be glued down on one side of the acrylic paper. The other paper will be used for the painted squares and your own painting.

Choose 6 colors out of the copy of the artwork and try to match them by using acrylic paints. Once you have matched a color place it on the right-hand side in the shape of a square. Repeat until all the six colors have been matched.

Next, you will create your own work using the six colors that you have matched. You can paint a still life, a landscape, or a fantasy painting in the artist's color scheme. See what magical images you can paint.

This is an example of the final presentation. Please post your work in the "Project Gallery".Sharing your artwork is fun and I would love to see what you accomplished. Enjoy!
