Art I Student Work

Art I Students just started painting.  We attempted with Mini Canvas measuring 2x3 inches.  Many students were confused as to how the end product would look like since the canvas was so small.  They were all pleased with the overall end product.  Here are our masterpieces!

Art I Examples for Mini Painting

Today we are in the library looking for pictures that we will use as inspiration for this week's mini canvas painting.  You must look online for different examples of what you would like to paint.  Please stay away from extremely detailed pictures because the canvas we will be working on is very small and it will be hard for you to add the details to the image.  

Pictures must be an image.  I will NOT allow any type of Logo, Symbol or Lettering.  You must have 4 examples by the end of the period for you to receive your full 100 for today's grade.  If  you have any question or doubt, please ask and I will clarify.

Art II Monochromatic Painting

Today we will be in the library looking for examples to use as inspiration for our Monochromatic Paintings.  Here are some examples.

Pictures must be an image.  I will NOT allow any type of Logo, Symbol or Lettering.  You must have 4 examples by the end of the period for you to receive your full 100 for today's grade.  If  you have any question or doubt, please ask and I will clarify.  

 Purpose: The purpose of this project is to introduce color values by blending one color of paint with black and white to give a variety of value changes. This color relationship or color scheme is known as monochromatic.

Every individual color on the Basic Color Wheel can be altered in three ways by Tinting, Shading or Toning. And that's before we even think about mixing two colors together.
Let's start with Lightening the twelve basic colors to create Tints.
A Tint is sometimes called a Pastel. Basically it's simply any color with white added.
If you want to get a little more complicated, you can mix any of the twelve pure colors together.Then simply add any amount of white and you have created a pastel or tint of the mixture.
That means you can go from an extremely pale, nearly white to a barely tinted pure hue. Artists often add a tiny touch of white to a pure pigment to give the color some body. So for example a bright Red can quickly become a bright Pink.

A color scheme using Tints is usually soft, youthful and soothing, especially the lighter versions. All tints work well in in feminine environments. You often see advertising, marketing and websites use pale and hot pastels if they are targeting women as a demographic. In painting you might save your lightest pastels for the focal point or use pastels for the entire painting.

Shades

What's a Shade
So now that you know how to lighten, what's the easiest way to make your colors darker?
A Shade is simply any color with black added.
Just as with making tints, you can mix any of the twelve pure colors together.Then simply add any amount of black and you have created a shade of the mixture.
That means you can go from an extremely dark, nearly black to a barely shaded pure hue.
Most artists use black sparingly because it can quickly destroy your main color. Some artists prefer not to use it at all. Instead they understand the rules of color well enough to make their own black mixtures.
Shades are deep, powerful and mysterious. Be careful not to use too much black as it can get a little overpowering. These darks work well in a masculine environment. They are best used as dark accents in art and marketing graphics.

Tones

What's a Tone
Now that you understand how to lighten and darken your twelve colors how do you tone them down?
Almost every color we see in our day-to-day world has been toned either a little or a lot. This makes for more appealing color combinations.
A Tone is created by adding both White and Black which is grey. Any color that is "greyed down" is considered a Tone.
Tones are somehow more pleasing to the eye. They are more complex, subtle and sophisticated.
Artists usually mix a little grey in every paint mixture to adjust the value and intensity of their pigment. Tones are the best choice for most interior decorating because they're more interesting. They work well in any Color Scheme you might plan
