52 Every color has an opposite, called a complement. Complementary colors sit opposite one another in the color wheel. Additionally, all colors are affected by the presence of other colors. Even the smallest presence of a complement will enhance the intensity of a color when it is present in the same visual field. The presence of red, for instance, will cause the retina to “seek” green in the other colors present, hereby enhancing all parts of the green spectrum. If you wish to intensify a color in a composition, place some of its complement nearby. This applies to all media. The effective use of color is one of the greatest tools at an artist’s disposal.

AP STUDIO ART: Adventures!

 

 

We listened to EACH of the stories about ADVENTURE! from ACT TWO! and then created our own image to go along with it. We are going to write a story about it – an artist statement and then share it with our authors. Let’s PHOTOGRAPH them so we have them documented. I can’t guarantee anything will come of it, but let’s see what we see… https://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/448/adventure

  • NVAS: 6.1P: Analyze and describe the impact that an exhibition or collection has on personal awareness of social, cultural, or political beliefs and understandings.
  • Question to begin with: What is a strength of your first (and second?) acrylic painting? Let’s plan on accomplishing TWO paintings this week. Go into a bit of REFLECTION about the painting with acrylics. What are you enjoying – ONE THING about working with acrylics and then SENTENCES describing why.

How were you able to make successful use of the thickness of the acrylics versus the transparency of the watercolors? After a couple of days using the easels (for those who haven’t) how does it work DIFFERENTLY than painting in your lap – on a board?
