Art Making/Material Exploration #1
1. Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel.
I really enjoyed creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel. My daughter created one as well because she said it looked fun. I think that the only thing that frustrated me was making sure the Value Scale shading was good (I'm somewhat a perfectionist when it comes to things like these). All together it was fun to do!
2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why?
I would have to say that I enjoyed working with the paint best. I feel that it is a more forgiving media to work with compared to the charcoal. Plus, getting the perfect shade on the Value Scale kinda was driving me crazy…lol. I like to paint so I enjoyed working with the paint.
3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?
For me, I think the most important discovery was the fact that cyan, magenta, and yellow are the true primary colors. I never knew that before, it was kinda cool learning that. It does make sense that the colors red and blue are too dark to be primary.
4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?
The most important information that I learned from watching the videos were that when you create the value scale you have to darken the colors in layers instead of just pressing harder to get the darkest shade. I found that interesting that you keep a consistent soft handle on your charcoal and make layers to achieve the desired shade. Also, that the primary colors are not red, blue, and yellow. They are in fact cyan, magenta, and yellow. That was pretty neat to learn, red and blue are considered secondary colors.

Your value scale seemed flawless just as your color wheel. The transitions in each were appropriate. Personally I enjoyed how bold your blue was.
