Sketchbook Assignment 8: Park

Create a collage that shows how to focus in and emphasize a subject within a composition (check with instructor for examples) 




Sketchbook Assignment 6: Color Wheel

Create a color wheel (extra instructions in class)




A color wheel shows the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary colors. It also shows the relationships between complementary colors across from each other on the color wheel, such as blue and orange; and analogous (similar or related) colors next to each other on the color wheel such as yellow, green and blue. Black and white may be thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not. White light is the presence of all color - black is the absence of reflected light and therefore the absence of color.
