Value and Hue

1. Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel.
2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why?
3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?
4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?

1) The value scale to me was relatively easy and didn't take long to create. The 5 and 6 box were the hardest ones because they seem to be the closest in shade and value but the 0 box was the easiest to create because I was able to keep going back and make it darker. The 10 box was obviously no stress at all because there was nothing to do with it since it was white. As for the color wheel I had to do a lot of mixing and adding more yellow to make the black because at first it was coming out really green. I had fun with the paint though!

2) I liked working with the paint media the best. This was because the paint is a lot smoother to work with, and what kid doesn't like to play with paint? The colors are so pretty and you get to blend to make different shades of color.

3) The most important discovery is to take your time with your work. With the value scale you had to be careful to not make some of the values the same level of darkness or lightness. And for the paint on the color wheel, you had to make sure you blended just the right amount of colors together to make the correct shade.

4) The video for the value scale seemed a lot more intense than what I actually did because the whole paper in the video was covered in boxes. They also had a kneaded eraser. The way the graphite pencil was cut instead of sharpened so the whole led was exposed, not just the tip was also more complicated than what I had to do. I liked watching the color wheel videos as well, it was interesting to see that the old primary colors, red, yellow, and blue, actually made brown mixed together not black!
