Project 5: SUBTRACTIVE COLORS
Creative Exploration of the Color Circle
FALL 2011
Materials: Illustration board, Red, Yellow & Blue Acrylics, brushes
Create a “Subjective” Traditional Color Circle
in which you will include:
3 primaries (RYB),
3 Secondary Hues (GOV)
6 Tertiary Hues (YG, YO, RO, BV, RV, BG).
Unlike the color circle we learned in class this should be a creative exploration.
Make your individual interpretation of the color wheel/circle.
Emphasize colors that you are drawn to; create a new shape for your color wheel; make the hues into characters, natural or artificial environments; objects, allow those characters/events to be a narrative.
JUST BE CREATIVE while exploring the concept of subtractive colors.
Remember that to understand the relationship between colors in the circle you should keep a circular structure in your design.
