Art Making/Material Exploration #1: Exploring Value and The Subtractive Color Theory Blog




















1. Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel.
Hated it. The Value Scale took me all day just to get it this far. I did upwards of 10 different ones. Cried, threw out a tonne of paper, and finally came up with this approximation. The second to last one was a real issue for me no matter what I did it seemed to be either the exact same shade as the third one or darker than the third one. This is not the first one I've done, but it was by far the hardest I have ever done. That said I think this was really valuable to as my biggest block to drawing more often is that I stink at shading.  Now just to figure out why and  how to fix it.


2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why? Neither. But then I don't think this is truly representative of working with these media - much more practice with each is required to make an informed choice.

3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies? I discovered that I need more practice but I am not sure I have the patience for it. But when the semester is over I am going to try and figure out what I am doing wrong.
And that it's easier if you start with light and go to dark, even if it's subtractive theory.

4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?

I really did not like these videos. The first one was hard to understand as the sound is so low, even with my volume as high as it went and I still don't get why he made the grid. The second was too fast and it could have been better with sound.
