The Value Scale and the Color Wheel

1. Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel.
               I thought creating the value scale and the color wheel were fairly easy to do. The only part I had trouble with was the color wheel. I could not find the color magenta anywhere, so I tried to make it, which messed up all of the other mixing of colors. I think my color wheel turned out pretty decently though.

2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why?
               I enjoyed working with the paint the most because I have always enjoyed working with paint and mixing colors together to get different colors.

3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?
               The most important discovery I made in the creation was that having specific colors matters when mixing them to create other colors.

4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?
               The most important information I learned is that measurements and being detailed matters, along with having the correct supplies.

My Slideshow

Above is my link to the slideshow I made on Photobucket to express my ideals of the Elements and Principles of Art.

At first I was very confused and not sure at all at what I was doing for this project. I calmed down and then realized that this is a great oppurtunity to understand the pictures that I actually take. I ended up enjoying this project and having fun with it. Some of the pictures are of drawings done by friends of mine that I thought explained some of the elements and principles. I also took this oppurtunity to share a little about myself. I included pictures of fire and a fire truck. I am a fireman and it is a big part of my life. I also included a picture of my nephew whom I love very much. This was a really fun and very informal project.

Color and feelings of art

1. Describe Color and it's effects on emotions. Use the appropriate vocabulary of color in your posting.
      Color can haunt a person in their sleep. When using color while painting things happen, most painters will have an image in mind but while painting the colors will just explode onto the paper.

2. What is a theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues/fascinates you? Why?
     A theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues me is the color wheel. I am intrigue as to how the different theorists constructed the different color wheels. What determines what color is next to another and how they become so similar.
3. In the Color video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions?
     I cannot believe how June Redfern can paint with so many colors. At the start of her paintings, they just look like different lines in different colors but, the beauty of her paintings come out using the many different colors.
4. In the Feelings video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions?
       I am impressed on how artisits can show emotions through their paintings.

My first Blog

1. How was the process of creating the GMail account and setting up the Blog?
          I found the both processes to be quite simple. I figured it all out quite well.


2. What do you expect to learn in this course?
          I expect to learn more about art. I find art interesting, eventhough I am not very artistic.


3. How do you feel about taking an online course?
          I am VERY nervous about taking an online course. I feel that I may get lost and confused. I sure hope I do not, but you never know.
