Space Management!

What makes a viewer look at an image?
Where is art in your world?
Why do we make Art?
Where are handmade artifacts in your world?

Controlling and Creating Color

We will be creating a color wheel this week, so you will be able to manipulate color effectively for your next assignment. 

Primary- R,Y,B
Secondary- G,O,V
Tetriary-RO, YO, RV, BV, YG, BG

Prmary Color:  Colrs at their basic essence;  those colors that cannot be created by mixing others
Secondary Color;  Those colors achieved by a mixture of two primaries
Tertriary;  Those colors achieved by a mixture of primary and secondary hues.

Complimentary Colors: Those colors located opposite each other on the color wheel
Analagous Colors:  Those colors located close together on the color wheel

Monochromatic:  One color with the addition of black or white
