Painting 1 For Fine Arts Midterm: Due 3/12/14


We've gone over this in class, but thought I'd reiterate:

(click to enlarge)
match these colors as best you can- as long as you get within 80%, you're good...the only colors I used are ultramarine blue, cadmium yellow medium, cadmium red medium, and titanium white.

Rubric for Color Matching:
I will be grading these based on neatness (clean edges- you don't need to tape, but no stray brush marks), opacity (no transparent washes- solid blocks of color), and accuracy.
Due 3/12/14.


ALSO DUE: TRIAD PAINTING
The Triad will be a painting of the object you drew for the first assignment (this also pulls that assignment into the mix), done in a limited triadic color palette.


Rubric for Triad Painting:
I will be grading these on how well you stayed within the confines of the triad, and on the color range you were able to achieve using just these three colors.
Due 3/12/14.


A triadic color scheme uses any three colors that are equally spaced on the color wheel. Yes. you are using the primaries, but the color scheme you choose determines the mood and the harmony. So, for example, if you choose to paint with the purple, orange, green palette, those colors will dominate the color scheme of the painting. the primaries are there, but they don't dominate. In this painting, the triad being used is the primaries- red, yellow, and blue:



Here are some great examples of paintings done using a triadic color scheme- in this case, purple, orange, and green (and white, to tint or lighten):




here is the color scheme as seen on the color wheel:


and you can even push your range a bit just by turning your scheme towards the tertiaries:
