Art Two - Color Theory

The Color Wheel

A color circle, based on red, yellow and blue, is traditional in the field of art. Sir Isaac Newton developed the first circular diagram of colors in 1666. Since then, scientists and artists have studied and designed numerous variations of this concept. Differences of opinion about the validity of one format over another continue to provoke debate. In reality, any color circle or color wheel which presents a logically arranged sequence of pure hues has merit.

 

---

There are also definitions (or categories) of colors based on the color wheel. We begin with a 3-part color wheel.

 

Primary Colors: Red, yellow and blue
In traditional color theory (used in paint and pigments), primary colors are the 3 pigment colors that can not be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors. All other colors are derived from these 3 hues. 
Secondary Colors: Green, orange and purple
These are the colors formed by mixing the primary colors.

Tertiary Colors: Yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green & yellow-green
These are the colors formed by mixing a primary and a secondary color. That's why the hue is a two word name, such as blue-green, red-violet, and yellow-orange.

All Art Classes - Extra Credit

We will have a blog holiday this week (a drawing holiday for AP).  Instead, bring a jar (or 2) of Peanut Butter that we will donate to Macon Outreach for their food pantry.  I will replace you lowest Friday Blog grade with a 100.  If you have a 100 Blog or Friday Drawing average, I will add 3 points to a project grade instead.

Tesch, make a drawing of a free form pot from your imagination.  Maybe even put it in some sort of background or environment.

Katherine, make several (3-5) sketches for a plan for the base of your sculpture.

3D AP - #6 Friday assignment

We will NOT work on your projects in class past Friday.  I will grade your carved first thing Monday morning.  If you take it home over the weekend to work on it (which is totally fine) you will need to deliver to me before first period.  Katherine, I will discuss yours when I get back.  Keep plastering.

This week's Friday assignment is to recreate a work by Barbara Hepworth.  Remember these drawings should be a full page and should take at least 2 hours.  Some of you have been rushing this assignment.  That will not help you in the end.  It is great practice, has you looking at some really important artists and will stock your sketchbooks with great images.

2D AP - #6 Friday Assignment

We will NOT work on your projects in class past Friday.  I will grade the seated figure painting/collages first thing Monday morning.  If you take it home over the weekend to work on it (which is totally fine) you will need to deliver to me before first period.

This week's Friday assignment is to recreate a work by Giotto or Cimabue.  These are both Italian early Renaissance artists.  Feel free to collage in other papers or put your own spin on it.  Remember these should take at least 2 hours.  Some of you have been rushing this assignment.  That will not help you in the end.  It is great practice, has you looking at some really important artists and will stock your sketchbooks with images that we will use later for a Photoshop project.

AP Class - Fri. #5

Spend an extra two hours (either this week or over the weekend) on your current project.  Carved sculptures and collage/paintings are due on Wednesday.  Katherine - I'm not pinning you down yet.

Art Two - Blog 5 - Rembrandt

Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch 15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669) was a Dutch painter and etcher. He is generally considered one of the greatest painters and printmakers in European art and the most important in Dutch history. His contributions to art came in a period of great wealth and cultural achievement that historians call the Dutch Golden Age when Dutch Golden Age painting, although in many ways antithetical to the Baroque style that dominated Europe, was extremely prolific and innovative.
Having achieved youthful success as a portrait painter, Rembrandt's later years were marked by personal tragedy and financial hardships. Yet his etchings and paintings were popular throughout his lifetime, his reputation as an artist remained high and for twenty years he taught many important Dutch painters. Rembrandt's greatest creative triumphs are exemplified especially in his portraits of his contemporaries, self-portraits and illustrations of scenes from the Bible. His self-portraits form a unique and intimate biography, in which the artist surveyed himself without vanity and with the utmost sincerity.

Art 2 - Blog 4 - Time Lapse portrait drawing

Watch the short video.  Natalia Stefanek creates a very realistic portrait drawing of Derren Brown.  He starts with a sketch that is shown at the 30 second mark.  This is the stage to work out proportions.  It looks like he has traced and transferred his own sketch onto the drawing paper and then completed it using a variety of pencil grades.
