November 30 - December 1

Unit 4 - Color

Current Project: Abstract Color Theory Painting

Objectives: Create a tempera painting with the following:

• Use 4 color schemes to demonstrate an understanding of color theory: monochromatic, triad, analogous, and split-complementary
• Create an abstract plant drawing from observational drawings
• Create visual movement by using a base color throughout the painting
• Employ good painting and color mixing techniques

• Monday: Complete abstract drawing of your observation plant drawings. Begin painting the final painting using your color scheme worksheet. Focus on using the base color in the negative spaces in order to create visual movement and color harmony.
  
• Tuesday: Work on Abstract plant painting.
• Wednesday: Work on Abstract Plant Painting. When finished, begin the interior pages of your star book.
• Thursday: Last day to work on abstract plant painting in class. Work on interior pages of your star book.
• Friday: Introduce the front covers of your star book. Design each side, one will be an abstract organic form and the other will be geometric. Outline the shape in glue and leave to dry.
