Color, Color, Color

This class started with the color wheel.  The sun project worked with warm and cool colors.  The blue night paintings are the study of tints (any color plus white) and shades (any color plus black).  The next project the students chose their subjects and media (paint or oil pastels).  The students then had a choice of six color theories (warm colors, cool colors, Tints & Shades with any color, or a set of complementary colors (red/green, yellow/purple, blue/orange).  Our last project for this class was a group painting.  Each student had a piece of the painting. They made a grid on both their image and their paper.  They mapped the image out on the paper and then painted it.  The last day we put all the images together.    I wasn't sure we were going to get the painting done.  The students did a great job.
