Bring all materials next time for color wheel project. Show student work power point Discuss : issues that define color perception: Language, culture, philosophy, Religion. Duality of color theory as science and art, objective and subjective. Mention Goethe and Newton. Introduce instructor, show work. Hue, Value and Intensity M. 01/26 Lecture and Presentation: The electromagnetic spectrum and light. Newton s discoveries. Additive and subtractive color. Hue, value, intensity, temperature: attributes of color. Hue and color, the difference. Warm vs. cool. Show lecture notes #1. Discuss lighting standards for viewing color. Power Point#1 Demonstration: Mixing, Painting and assembly techniques, collage techniques. Presentation requirements demonstrated. Student project sample images shown. Major Project: Introduce color wheel project. Show Gamblin DVD. Project Studio time: Color Wheel project W. 01/28 Lecture and Presentation: Color wheels and solids: Newton s first, Maxwell s discoveries, Goethe, Munsell. Color relationships on the color wheel. Show spinning color mixing disks in action. Discuss pigments and color permanence. Review Color Journal project requirements, review project sheet Project Studio time: Color Wheel project 1

2 M. 02/02 Lecture and Presentation: Review value as a color attribute. Value creates form, Desegno vs. Colorito. Color value in composition and design, focal point and mood. Introduce value viewfinder project. Major project Value viewfinder Demonstration: Mixing, painting and assembling a grey scale. Student project sample images shown. Project Studio time Color Wheel project or value viewfinder W.02/04 Lecture and Presentation : Tints, Tones and Shades. Hues with the least and most potential range in value. Hi Key, low key and middle key compositions. Major Project: Introduce Tint, tone, shades project. Demonstration: Mixing, painting and assembling a tint, tone and shade scale for each of the primary, secondary and tertiary hue Project due/critique: Color Wheel Project critique. Turn in for grading. Project: Studio time: Studio time for value viewfinder. M. 02/09 In-class project: Permanent vs. Fugitive color. Color, Students to bring as many drawing and painting mediums as well as cut paper samples to class as possible. Project Studio time: tints tone, shading or value viewfinder project W. 02/11 M02/16 Lecture and Presentation: Saturation, Intensity, chroma, mixing compliments, neutrals, chromatic grays. Major Project: Introduce Saturation Project Demonstration: Painting and constructing the saturation scales Project due/critique: Value Viewfinder Project. Turn in for grading. Project studio time for Saturation wheel or tints tones, shades In-class project: Matching color through mixing. Students to bring in two paint chips with difficult to define or describe color. No primaries, secondaries or tertiaries. 2

3 Color Interaction W 02/18 M. 02/23 Lecture and Presentation: Color interaction: The after- image phenomena.the appearance of color can be changed or modified by its surrounding visual environment. Discuss Rood, Chevruel, impressionist color theory, revisit warm vs. cool contrasts. In-class project: Simultaneous contrast Project due/critique: Tints, Tones and Shades project, turn in for grading. Lecture and Presentation: Optical Mixing, broken color, RGB and the relationship of light primaries to CYMK printing. Major Project: Broken Color/optical mixing project. Demonstration: Painting broken color. W 02/25 Lecture and Presentation: Subtractive color perception: making two different hues look the same. In-class project: In class project on subtractive color perception Demonstration: Student examples Project Due/critique: Saturation Wheel M. 03/02 Lecture and Presentation: Color transparency. Actual and simulated transparency, washes, glazes and simulated transparency using opaque colors. Demonstration: Glazes with watercolor and oil and executing simulated transparency with gouache. Stained Glass and printmaking transparency. In-class project: Simulated transparency 3

4 Color harmony and Balance Wed. 03/04 Lecture and Presentation: Simple and complex color harmony systems. Analogous, Complimentary, split- complementary, double complementary, etc. systems. Major Project: Muscle Man/Woman M. 03/09 Project Studio time : Muscle Man/Woman W 03/16 Lecture and Presentation: Color balance and anomaly. Color balance and anomaly project student and professional examples Major Project: Color balance and anomaly project. Demonstration: Elephant and mouse! Balance in composition. M 03/17 Lecture and Presentation: Two color limited palette composition. A limited palette can produce a surprising range of colors when mixed together and with black and white and automatically unify the work. Project: Abstract In- class limited palette project Demonstration: Mixing from a limited palette Project due/critique: Muscle Man/Woman project First test and color journals due. Last day to turn in anything from first half of the semester as a redo or late work. W 03/18 Lecture and Presentation: Color sampling and inventories as a means to color harmonies. 4

5 In-class project: Proportional and non proportional inventory project using objects to sample color and computer to create design with the derived color harmony. Mid term grade report given Color and Space M 03/23 Lecture and Presentation: Using hue (warms and cools), value and intensity as well as compositional elements to create the illusion of space in the picture plane. Chiaroscuro and Aerial perspective. In class Project: In- class project, 2 person team day and night spatial variations on a single design. Demonstration: Student and professional examples Critique: These projects due at the end of class W 03/25 Lecture and Presentation: Retinal Painting and modifying color to enhance spatial illusion. Color mapping. Major Project: Representational based retinal painting. Demonstration: Modifying color to enhance spatial illusion through manipulation of hue, vale and intensity. Project due Critique: Color anomaly project M 03/30 NO Class: Ceasar Chavez Day Lecture and Presentation: As necessary Project studio time: Continue on retinal painting in class Demonstration: as required Additive color, psychological and cultural aspects of color W 04/02 Lecture and Presentation: RGB color wheel, Additive color mixing.
