FA 106 Color Theory AM Week 6

On Tuesday we held a quick critique of the Color Match projects before making the designs for the Face Blot project. This project focuses on the concept of Color Field Theory. This principle of color says that a color will be influenced by the colors that surround it and they can have a strong affect on each other in some cases. Once students finished 4 designs for each the Blots and Faces the best 2 of each where then transferred on a layout for the color exercise portion of this project. Each box exercise should be on a 8"x5" or 9"x6". Exercises A and D will have two different color background colors.

FA 106 Color Theory PM Week 6

This week students finished their Color match projects and started work on the designs for the Color Face Blot project. The double face designs are made by cutting a frame, eyes, nose and mouth out of a half sheet of copy paper. The paint blots are made by drawing in a small amount of paint from your tube on half sheet of copy paper then pressing the two sides together. Students will make 4 face designs and 4 paint blots minimum. Next week we will examine the exercise portion of the project.

FA 106 Color Theory Week 6

This week after designing the ink blots and double cot out faces, students began laying out the design for examples A-D. Color tests should be done before execution of each exercise. Demonstration for A (1 color looking like 2) and B (high and low intensity plus a compliment) were on Tuesday while C (color vibration) on Thursday.

FA 106 Color Theory Week 5

The AM class started the color field theory by designing ink blots and double faces while the PM class finished working on the color match project. Color tests for the examples a-d are next before executing each example.

A - one color looking like 2

B - high intensity and low with compliment

C - color vibration

D - 2 different color look like the same

FA 106 Color Theory PM Week 5

Students worked on design and layout for the color field theory project 

Fa 106 Color Theory Week 4

On Tuesday students began designing the double faces and paint blots for our color field theory project. Students should create four of each minimum before selecting the best or favorite two from each group to use as designs. Thursday students began making color tests for examples A-D, to explore which color relationships work best for each example. Some students also began painting their final designs for the examples. The best order of execution is (A, D, C, B) 

FA 106 Color Theory Week 4

Tuesday student had a demonstration for examples c and d of the Face/Blot project. C focuses on color vibration and D highlights high and low intensity with a complimentary color. Thursday student had an example b demo that make 2 different foreground colors look like the same color by controling the background colors.

c- Color Vibration, d - block in

d- High/Low intensity + compliment

b - two different colors look like the same color

color difference example b

FA 106 Color Theory Week 3

On Tuesday students watched a demonstration on creating a presentation for the color match project. Then the Double Face/Ink Blot project was introduced. Thursday students finished and submitted their color match presentations and began work on 2face/blot (color field theory) project. Example a was completed in demonstration.

Color Test and Example a 1 color like 2

FA 106 Color Theory Week 6

Week 6 recap - this week students finished the ink blot/ double face color field theory project and began working on the Faces of the Mohawk Valley Pixel Portrait. 

FA 106 Color Theory Week 5

Examples B, D, C, and A in clockwise plus color tests

Week 5 recap- this week students worked on completing the ink blot/ double face color field theory project. Students should create the following: a. One color looking like two others, b. two colors looking like the same color, c. Color vibration, d. High and low intensity color. Next week students will begin the faces of the mohawk valley pixel portrait.

FA 106 Color Theory Week 4

Week 4 recap- this week students finished their presentations for the color match project. On Tuesday students were introduced to the color ink blot/double face project.

FA 106 Color Theory Week 4

Week 4 Recap- this week student turned in their color match project and started painting the color blots/faces. Next week we will continue to refine the color solutions to this exercise.

FA 106 Color Theory Week 3

Week 3 recap- this week students worked on making more color matches Tuesday while starting the ink blot color field project on Thursday. The color match presentation should be completed by end of class Tuesday the 12th.
