Color Wheel and Color Schemes

Today's assignment will be done by all Art 1-4 students that are not working on their VASE assignments. this assignment will be done in your sketchbooks or on a white page of copy paper. You will be drawing and labeling the color wheel. You must include the primary, secondary, and intermediate colors in there correct order. You must also label the different color schemes on the wheel. You may use any websites that may help you label the wheel correctly.

I tried to post a link to a color wheel below but my phone won't let me link it... Try to copy paste it to your browser. This is just one of millions of color wheel examples.

Remember that when I return on Thursday, you WILL have a color test and will be asked to label the color wheel, as well as explain the different color schemes and provide examples.

Once you have finished the color wheel and the color notes you will need to decide on a color scheme for your portrait project. You will need to list the colors as well as the scheme in your sketchbooks. You will also need to find a work of art on the Internet that uses the color scheme that you have chosen. Once you find the image that inspires you, save the image and the artist to your desktop, in an art folder.

I am so sorry that I am not in class to help you all with these assignments. Please do the best you can! I expect great reports from the subs when I return.

Best Wishes, Mrs. Stewart

  2. I worded that a little funny. So sorry! What I want for you to do is choose a work of art that you like the colors of by any artist. Save that image in a folder on your desktop. Then identify what color scheme the artist used. That will be the color scheme you will use for your self portrait project!
