Color Theory Lesson by Bre Hamilton https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0 For high schoolers learning the basics of color theory. en-us 2019-02-12 19:55:21 UTC 2024-10-16 00:23:13 UTC hello@padlet.com What is color theory? bre_hamilton https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/330539829 A body of practical color mixing and the visual effects of a specific color combination. ]]> 2019-02-12 19:57:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/330539829 How are we going to begin? bre_hamilton https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/330540672 We will begin by practicing the use of primary colors in creating the secondary colors and even the tertiary colors. ]]> 2019-02-12 19:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/330540672 What are we going to create? bre_hamilton https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/330540999 There are several steps to creating a final composition. The first step will be doing color studies using multiple forms of media and coloring techniques. ]]> 2019-02-12 19:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/330540999 What will the end project be? bre_hamilton https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/330541447 You, the students, will create a composition using only the primary colors. You will be allowed to create different shades and opaqueness of those colors. ]]> 2019-02-12 20:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/330541447 Why are we doing this? bre_hamilton https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/330542040 Color theory is the best way to learn the colors themselves. If you do not have a clear understanding of the colors in the color wheel, other projects will be harder to complete successfully. ]]> 2019-02-12 20:02:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/330542040 Step One: bre_hamilton https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/330543132 Choose one of the primary colors (yellow, blue, or red) and you are going to try and manipulate the color itself by using black and white. By adding more or less of each of those, your primary color will change. ]]> 2019-02-12 20:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/330543132 Step Two: bre_hamilton https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/330543575 Chose a secondary color to use. You will do the same with the secondary color that you did with your primary color. ]]> 2019-02-12 20:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/330543575 Step Three: bre_hamilton https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/330544396 Using the primary colors that you did not already use, try and create the secondary color without actually using the secondary color.
Ex: Use only yellow and blue to try and create green. ]]> 2019-02-12 20:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/330544396 Start It! bre_hamilton https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/331471918 Begin your composition by drawing out either an abstract or objective drawing on your composition paper.]]> 2019-02-14 19:01:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/331471918 Lay It Out bre_hamilton https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/331472347 Make sure when you are drawing out your composition, you also lay out the colors that you will be using where. ]]> 2019-02-14 19:01:48 UTC https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/331472347 And yes... bre_hamilton https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/331473111 You may use white and black but please make sure that you do not use it more than the primary colors that you are asked to use. ]]> 2019-02-14 19:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/bre_hamilton/l1suui849he0/wish/331473111
