I started with the value scale first and then did the color wheel. When reading the directions I was a little intimidated because I am not artistically inclined whatsoever. However, when I referenced the page in the book with the example it made much more sense to me. I was worried about my lines not being crooked but my ruler was very accurate. I loved making the color wheel. I was excited to see what colors would come from the mixtures I was making.
2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why?
I enjoyed working with the acrylic paint the best. The pencil was rough, raw and rigid while the paint had motion, flow and rhythm.
3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?
The most important discovery is the color theory. This color theory originated from Sir Isaac Newton and his observations of rays of sunlight through a prism.
4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?
I liked the color wheel video because I followed it step-by-step. However, I wish it had sound. I learned that the colors that I learned were primary (red, yellow, blue) are actually secondary colors. The real primary colors are cyan, yellow and magenta.
I didn't find the Value Steps Scaled video to be as helpful. I could tell from the picture in the book what I was going to create. The video called for materials I did not have (i.e. paper with vellum, utility knife, etc.) One thing I learned what that I can sharpen my graphite pencil with a file. I am glad the video showed this because I was worried that I didn't have a sharpener.
