Art Making/Material Exploration #1: Exploring Value and The Subtractive Color Theory Blog

Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel.
 
I found the process of creating the color wheel and value scale fun, but kind of hard I enjoyed mixing the colors and placing them on the wheel, i kind of made a remix to the color wheel but thats just me playing around with the colors and seeing what i would come up with. the value scale took time to get all the shades correct. the  project was fun and easy to complete.
2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why?
 The media that i enjoy the best and am most comfortable working with is  pencil. I feel that the pencil allows more control over where you are shading in or drawing. Whereas with the paint brush you don't have as much control and it requires a much steadier hand.
3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?
 The most important discovery for me in the studies were the difference between the primaries and secondary colors, and how each color is made. the fact that using the primaries of red, yellow, and blue instead of cyan. magenta, and yellow can create different secondary colors which i never knew of before this project i always thought  cyan, magenta and yellow were mainly the assorted.
4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?
The most important information i learned while watching the videos for this project was the difference between the primary colors red, yellow and blue, and the primary colors of cyan, magenta, and yellow. I think the video was well done and very informative. It got its message across and didn't take along time to do so. overall It was nice to see an example of what I was supposed to do, especially in the color wheel since I havent worked with paint in a while.
