Beginner - Intermediate Level
In this three-course class, students will learn the basics of color theory. We will cover primary, secondary, and tertiary colors and how to create them, in addition to color schemes that are influenced by the color wheel. Students will then put their knowledge to the test by creating a still life project using a monochromatic color scheme of their choosing. Finally, students will create an original work of art that incorporates the monochromatic color scheme they used in their project. Each class will open with a lecture or demo. Following this students will be allowed independent work time where there will be an opportunity to consult me if needed. Any work not completed during class time will be assigned as homework, to be completed before the next class. The last class will be dedicated to receiving feedback from myself and their peers.
Learning Goals
