After our in-class lecture today, I am assigning you the following three readings to do before class on Monday, March 19th. They are all available on this website.
I recommend reading this BEFORE attempting to do your painting assignments.
Reading 1- Intro to Color Theory
Please start by reading the prologue.
It's a great resource for understanding color theory and it's
development. Don't worry if you don't understand it all- there is a lot
of information here. Also, you can listen to the writer reading it in
the video below
Reading 2- The Dimensions of Color
Read the section titled, The Dimensions of Color. We will use the terminology presented in the reading to discuss the three attributes of color. These attributes are applied to both additive and subtractive color. The author uses the terms Colors of Objects (ex. paint or ink), and Colors of Lights (ex. a computer screen). The three Dimensions of color are:1. Hue
2. Chroma/Saturation
3. Value/Brightness
Reading 3- Paint Mixing Principles
The last reading for Monday will be the part on mixing paint. Please read the sections on white, grey, black and hues. Again, don't worry about not understanding everything. Just be sure to understand the basic ideas.
For Class on Monday, March 19th
Please bring your bristol board pads to class along with your gauche and painting supplies. We will be painting in class.
