Colour Wheel

In this session on the 16th of October, we looked into the colour wheel and all about mixing colours to produce primary, secondary and tertiary shades. Some of the formal elements we used in the lesson include; colour and tone. Materials that were used during this session were Gouche paint, sable brushes and cartridge paper. In this case gouche paint was more ideal for what we were doing as it allows me to build up a stronger colour. I didn't, as such, use any techniques during this lesson but I did learn how to look at the colours and determine what shades they were and what made them.

     

















Areas of my work I think worked well would be the understanding of the primary and secondary colours and what they were made up of. I also think that my understanding of shades and tones within the colours and showing them physically.
Areas of my work I think I would need to improve on would be the understanding of the tertiary colours. I don't' really understand them so would need to do some research on the tertiary colours for me to build an understanding of them and how to remember them. As I just mentioned I would extend my skills further by researching and learning about the tertiary colours and what they are made up of. I could also work with others in my group and either recreate the colour wheel together allowing us to help each other so we all understand it. Or finally I could speak to my tutor about colour wheel and everything about it. This would hopefully allow me to understand them and be able to learn more about them and use them in the future.
