Module 4

1. Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel.

I enjoyed creating the color wheel.  I remember learning about them and the primary colors when I was younger.  It was easy to make the circle and create the lines to separate the colors.  I enjoyed mixing them because even though I knew the color they'd create, the science part of it always fascinates me. 

2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why?

I liked using the acrylic paint a lot more than the charcoal.  It was easy to manipulate and I could add more when I needed to.  I actually hated using the charcoal.  It got all over my hands and I feel like it just made my work look sloppy and I wasn't pleased with it at the end.  

3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?

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

I feel like this question goes along with number 3.  I was really surprised to hear that red, yellow, and blue were not the true primary colors when this whole time, I thought they were.  After watching the video, though, it made sense to me.  The colors mixing together made brown but when you put magenta, yellow and cyan together, they create black which is what they should mix together to be.  This, to me, is an important discovery because I'm going to school to become a teacher so I can teach the children that are in my classes all about the color wheel and teach them the correct colors and what they become when they mix.
