High School - Art 1 - Analogous Colors

This is the end point all those value scales were building up to... a reproduction of
Vincent Van Gogh's Bedroom at Arles.
The catch is that students could only use the 2 Primary colors picked for their
Analogous Chart, along with black and white. Any color variations derived from mixing these initial colors were allowed.
Students were provided with a colored print of the original painting
(image on right) and a couple "coloring pages" of the same
(below).
After drawing the bedroom on a big 9x18 in. paper, and referring to their
Analogous Chart, they did one or two practice run of color scheme with color pencils on the coloring page, to have a better idea of how they wanted this to look.

It took 2 weeks to get to this point and another 3 to complete the painting. This was a really good unit, with a nice progression of difficulty and paint mastery. From the look of the final product, I'd say this was time well spent.
