Color Theory and Media Exploration *Cancelled*

Part of our work will include examining the works of famous artists and exploring their approach to color. Here are the focuses of each day: 

• Introduction to the color wheel: Learn about primary, secondary, tertiary colors, and tints, shades, and tones. You'll look at how various artists use different color schemes and painting techniques and create your own color wheel by mixing watercolors.
• Still-life in color with watercolors: You'll put our color wheel theory into action by drawing from still-life and using watercolors, pencils, and pens.
• Self-portrait in oil pastels: Explore different types of portraits, discuss some famous works, and experiment with creating your own self-portrait in the spirit of an artist of your choice.
• Exploring the abstract by experimenting with pens, watercolors, and oil pastels: You'll be abstracting an image of your choice into a composition of colors and shapes, while developing your own color scheme. You'll have a choice to work with watercolors or oil pastels.
