Art Exploration

Creating the value scale and color wheel were more enjoyable than I thought they would be. I liked getting to use the art materials. Mixing the different colors for the color wheel was fun and interesting every time to see what I could turn them into. Working with the watercolor was my favorite part of the project. It was nice to see how the colors would turn out and how adding little bits of different colors could change the overall outcome. I liked using the brushes. I created secondary and tertiary colors so that I could continue to play with the colors a bit more. While creating these I discovered that watercolor really is about spontaneity. By adding water you can manipulate the colors and continue to work with them, but you really need to have an idea of what you are trying to do. As far as the videos, I liked that they showed exactly how one can mix colors and how to create a basic color wheel. It helps that they explain which colors are secondary and primary while they are mixing them to keep you from getting confused. By using the color wheel to show people how colors relate to one another was one of the more interesting things I learned from the video because I've never thought of looking at a color wheel that way.
