| VALUE SCALE AND COLOR WHEEL |

| 1. I FOUND THE COLOR WHEEL MUCH EASIER THAN THE VALUE SCALE. I COULDN'T GET THE RIGHT RATIO OF VALUE AND KEPT HAVING TO DARKEN THE FIRST BOXES I DID! IT IS INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THE DIFFERENT COLORS ARE CREATED THROUGH MIXTURE. 2. I ENJOYED THE ACRYLICS MUCH MORE. THEY WERE SO MUCH EASIER TO BLEND AND MANIPULATE TO ME. PERHAPS I CHOSE THE WRONG GRADE PENCIL...I JUST COULDN'T GET ENOUGH VARIATION OR VALUE. 3. PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY I FOUND WAS THAT EVEN THE VALUE SCALE CHANGED MY MOOD. THE DARKER VALUES WERE MORE SOMBER AND EERIE AND THE LIGHTER VALUES WERE MORE AWAKENING, MORE INVITING. 4. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT RED AND BLUE ARE CONSIDERED TOO DARK TO BE PRIMARY COLORS AND THAT MAGENTA AND CYAN ARE USED NOW. I LIKED THE VIDEOS. THEY WERE VERY INFORMATIVE IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIme |

PHOTO ASSIGNMENT
I at first began looking outside for my subjects but then I realized that there were so many of the principles and elements right in my own room. I discovered that I prefer taking pictures of everyday objects and shooting them from different angles and up-close in order to distort them into my own sculptures. I like the idea of a photograph raising the question in the viewer “What is that?” I did include a few 'realistic' photos but I found myself more drawn to the unusual angles and patterns and textures that we see everyday but probably show little attention to because we are so used to seeing them.

BLOG COLORS
http://my-spot-jd.blogspot.com/
1. Color is light. Color is refracted light rays. Objects appear to have a particular
color because all the light rays are absorbed except the color you are seeing.
There are 3 primary colors. primary means they cannot be created by mixing
2 colors together. They are red, yellow and blue. There are also 3 secondary
colors-created by mixing 2 primary colors, which are green, orange and violet.
Some colors are considered warm colors-red, orange and yellow. And the others
are cool colors-blue, green and violet.
Colors have 3 properties. Hue is the name of the color. All colors have a value,
how light or dark they are. A normal value is the value we expect to see that color.
The third prperty is intensity. Intensity refers to the purity of the color. They can
be saturated and pure or dulled. Artisits usually dull a color by adding grey to it.
Colors definitely evoke emotion. We all have favorite colors so it's impossible to
say we all get the same emotional feeling from the samee color, however, overall the
emotional experiences are veru similar. Blue is definitely a peaceful, calming color
to me. Yellow is alive and moving. Purple is soothing and spring-like. Red is loud
and alarming. I tend to like the cool colors more.
2. A theoritical aspect of color that fascinates me is how a color can affect our
appetiite. I can understand colors affecting our moods and emotions but it's hard
for me to grasp that red can create hunger or an increased appetite! I am going to
have to test this theory!
3. Bold colors express strong emotions. I really loved how Monet didn't paint
objects but rather colors. And the colors he chose to use were so calming and
relaxing. I noticed that all the artists featured in this video used red for anger, or
discomfort or as a focal point. If red was used it seemed to be the highlight of the
painting.
4. What fascinated me most about the colors in the artwork was not the use of
the color itself but the intensity of the colors themselves. Pure blues and reds
created feelings of respect or admiration. In contrast, the colors used to show
suffering or sadness are less intense-even greys and blacks are dulled. I definitely
felt what the artist was conveying simply through the use of vibrant, pure colors or
murky greys or blacks or yellows.
