Week 12 – New Works are coming our way!

I can communicate in positive ways to get my needs met.

A day at Expo Chicago brought back a great number of images and ideas… here is one image and then a quote from a different artist. I wish I’d have seen the name of the artist above.

“It doesn’t matter if the story is precisely true…it’s about you telling the story. It’s almost like going to a rock concert where the audience sings along with the performer. I want the viewer’s experiences to be echoed in the work as they are reflected back in the canvases.”

— Nir Hod – Artist

Week 11 – New Works are coming our way!

I can communicate in positive ways to get my needs met.

#69: Color is not Neutral: It has an emotional component. Certain colors have specific associations and induce certain responses. Learn what they are. When you use color, try to determine and understand the accompanying emotional response and how to use it effectively. Color has a visceral impact. Kit White 101 Things I Learned in Art School

Week 10 – Welcome to 4th Quarter

I can choose solutions to problems and describe the impact of my choices on myself and others.

51: Learn the basic principles of color. There are three primary colors: red, blue, and yellow. They are the building blocks of all other colors. The secondary colors are violet (blue and red), green (blue and yellow), and orange (red and yellow). They are composed by the equal mixture of two primaries. All other colors are referred to as tertiary, because they are mixtures of a primary and a secondary color. Kit White 101 Things to Learn in Art School

Roses Are Red, Violets are…

During a trip to Ripon College, I got my daily dose of color theory. This has given me pause to reconsider all the other color ideas I might have been wrong on after all these years. If you have any ideas, send them my way and I’ll post them for you.
