Art Club at CCJHS - Color Wheel Assignment


In order to finish the assignment given out today in Art Club, you need to have a good color wheel. You can make one yourself, but I’ve added one here just-in-case…

I will be sending each member your assigned color scheme to color your art work, either through email or a message to your homeroom teacher! I may just post a list to this blog! Ha! Then everyone will know what you’re supposed to be doing!

A COMPLIMENTARY color scheme is when colors are opposite each other on the color wheel.

An ANALAGOUS color scheme is when colors are next to each other on the color wheel.

A TRIAD color scheme is when you use 3 colors that are equally spaced apart from each other on the color wheel.

A DOUBLE COMPLIMENTARY color scheme is when you use 4 colors that are equally spaced apart from each other on the color wheel.

A MONOCHROMATIC color scheme is the use of 1 color only. The overall scheme includes SHADES and TINTS of blue. A SHADE is pure color + black. A TINT is pure color + white.

PRIMARY colors include the basics of red, blue and yellow. We can make all other colors from these three PRIMARY colors!

SECONDARY colors are made when we combine the PRIMARY colors.
Blue + Yellow = Green
Yellow + Red = Orange
Red + Blue = Violet

TERTIARY colors are made when we combine one PRIMARY and one SECONDARY color!
Blue + Yellow = Blue-Green
Yellow + Green = Yellow-Green
Red + Orange = Red-Orange
Yellow + Orange = Yellow-Orange
Red + Violet = Red-Violet
Blue + Violet = Blue-Violet
