Color Week!

Last week we were finally able to work with color!  After a semester of colorless projects, this is a pretty big deal!  It all started with looking for a "glow".  What???  This is where we put colors next to each other and tried to figure out which color would be mixed between them.  Basically, you had to look for the GLOW of each color on the middle paper.  I think I finally mastered it...and we were able to create several color palettes...



  
The middle mixture between the green and purple
Color mixture between the orange and blue.  If you squint your eyes you can see the glow- especially the orange!
Color mixture between three colors!  This is a much longer process than it looks because we had to find the colors between two at a time, in order to find an entirely different set of 3, and then use those colors to help find the center for the original 3 colors!
We picked 4 colors and a middle color, then found the mixture between them (which are the 1"x1" squares) It is suppose to look as though there is a green tinted paper on top of all the other colors, or a transparent effect.
We then made a color palette that we will be using for the rest of the semester!  We picked a "light", a "shade", and 2 colors of our choice and then found the rest of the colors from those!
We then had a creative one where we chose colors from our previously made palette and assigned them to a season.  My seasons are in the order of Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall.  I wanted to show them moving like a wave from one season to the other to show that they are all interconnected.

My final composition on the wall!  All of my color palettes!
