2 The Color Wheel is a visual representation of the spectrum of color. It consists of twelve warm and cool hues (Hue is the word used to describe a pure color) and visually describes the relationship between them.

3 Primary Colors (red, yellow and blue) are the three hues that cannot be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors. All other colors are created from combining these three hues.

4 Primary Colors Roy Lichtenstein, 1960 s

5 Secondary Colors (green, orange and violet) are the colors formed by mixing the primary colors

6 Secondary Colors Andy Warhol; 1968

7 Tertiary Colors (red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet red-violet) are the colors formed by mixing one primary and one secondary color.

8 Tertiary Colors Paul Cèzanne; 1880 s

9 Complementary Colors are the colors directly across from each other on the color wheel, for instance red and green. When used together, complementary colors show heavy contrast and are useful when you want to make something stand out.

10 Complementary Colors Vincent Van Gogh; 1889

11 Analagous Colors are any colors that are side by side on a 12 part color wheel, such as yellow, yellow-orange and orange.

12 Analagous Colors Claude Monet; late1800 s

13 Tints of hues are created by adding white to a color

14 Light Tint Palette Claude Monet; early 1900 s

15 Shades of hues are created by adding black to a color

16 Dark Shade Palette Georgia O Keefe; 1920 s 1960 s

17 Tones of hues are created by adding grey to a color

18 Tones Palette Pablo Picasso; 1903

19 Monochromatic Color Palette Pablo Picasso;

20 Cool Colors Pablo Picasso;

21 Warm Colors Jasper Francis Crospey; 1840 s 1880 s

22 Why we re talking about color

24 Pop Art An artistic movement of the 1950 s and 60 s in Britain and the United States. Art that employs aspects of popular/mass culture such as famous people, advertisements, comic books, or even common objects such as Campbell's soup. Pop artists experimented with color and color schemes as a way to manipulate the viewer s experience of our cultural icons. Andy Warhol is considered one of the founders of this style. Emphasis on mass consumption and mass production (use of printmaking processes)

25 Visually characterized by bold shapes, simplified forms, clear lines, everyday imagery, and vibrant block colors arranged in varying schemes.

32 Our Project: You will each create a series of linoleum carved Pop Art inspired self portraits that experiment with several (at least three) different color schemes. We will take self portraits in class, manipulate them in the computer and transfer the resulting simplified image onto linoleum blocks. We will be embracing the mass production nature of the Pop Art movement and making many copies of our prints while experimenting with at least three different color schemes. For your three color schemes, you may choose three (or more!) from the following: Analogous, Complementary, Warm, Cool, and Monochromatic.

35 But first, we re going to play with color for a few classes

36 by making monochromatic color collages based on tints, shades & tones of a single color.

42 Our Mini Project: Inspired by the artwork of Brett Day Windham, you will each create a small monochromatic color collage comprised of tints, shades and tones of a single color. We will spend two classes gathering your tints, shades and tones and then two classes collaging. Keep this timeline in mind as you work it s a short one! You do not need to fill the entire page (make a big rectangle) and instead you should think about how your collage will exist within the blank canvas of your sheet. Create a non-representational shape to guide your collaged composition before you begin gluing this shape can be organic, geometric, or relate to a specific idea that you may have for your piece. You are each to decide on a singular method for distributing your tints, shades and tones within your collage. Is it a gradual steady gradation from light to dark, a gradation of hues within your monochromatic palette, or are you using another method to thoughtfully distribute your shades, tints and tones? Decide on your tactic before you start gluing.
