Color Schemes Designs and Color Theory

This week the 7th grade art students are working on their stylized color scheme designs which are based on geometric shapes and symbolic forms. Students are using three or more cool or warm colors on the color wheel to create analogous color schemes that incorporate one or more neutral colors.

In addition, the 7th grade artists are working with the art elements such as shape,space,and color in conjunction with the important art principles of unity,contrast,rhythm and movement to create exciting works of art in colored markers and colored pencils.

We have also revewed color theory,color mixing techniques,and some design principles to reinforce the concept of good design and a unified work of art.
