High School - Art 1 - Elements of Art: COLOR & VALUETime to dive into colors! To start on this unit, we first talked about Value and its definition as related to art, referring to the range of lightness and darkness of a color.
For warm-up, students did a gray scale with paint showing 5 different values of gray by mixing black and white paint in the proper proportions.
The 2nd Value scale was a Monochromatic Scale, using only 1 color with black and white.
Students had to show the progression from white to a very dark value of their color of choice. To finish the design, a black silhouette was added with black sharpie or cur out construction paper.
The results are once again amazing.
Material:
- 8x11 in paper
- Tempera paint
- Black Sharpie markers
- Construction paper (opt.)
- Glue (opt.)
This is a 3 part Unit:
- Monochromatic scale
- Analogous Chart
- Vincent van Gogh's Bedroom
Color is an amazing subject, Great job!
