1. Color comes from light Where there is not light there is no color? Your vision responds to different wavelengths of light A ray of light passes through is refracted in a prism and produces the whole spectrum of color (the brightest colors possible)

2. Properties of color: how you can define and measure a color? Hue: the name of the color itself Value: the relative lightness or darkness of a color. Intensity/Saturation: How pure or dull the color is Temperature: Relative cool or warmth of the color How can you explain a color in words? Crayola names colors after objects in life that look like the color.

3. Color Wheel: All the colors in the spectrum arranged in wheel to determine color relationships. arranged in a circle or wheel Hue is the color family; We use these to determine color relationships.

4. Value of a Color the relative lightness or darkness of a color. Colors have inherent Values Tint: Adding white to a color Shade: adding black or dark color to a color Mixing other colors can change the value as well.

5. Tints and Shades TINTS SHADES Add WHITE Add BLACK

6. Intensity or Saturation How pure or dull the color is. The more you mix colors the more dull they become- You can mix grey tones, black, white, complements or other colors into your colors to dull them. Mixing complementary colors bit by bit a grey is formed

7. Temperature relative cool or warmth of a color Warm colors: associated with fire, the sun, desert, warmth -Tend to come forward from picture plane Cool colors: associated with cold, plants, water -Tend to recede into the picture plane Which shapes come forward and which recede into the picture plane?

8. Color Scales: every color can be judged on each of these scales relative to other colors 1. Hue R--------O--------Y-------G--------B-------V 2. Warm  -----------------------------  Cool 3. Light  ------------------------------  Dark 4. Pure  --------------------------------  Dull

9. Compare two colors! 1. Hue R---------O---------Y-------G---------B--------V 2. Warm  -----------------------------  Cool 3. Light  ------------------------------  Dark 4. Pure  --------------------------------  Dull

10. Neutrals Colors that don't fall into the warm, cool, primary, secondary, and tertiary color schemes are called neutral colors. These colors (and any variation of them) are black, white, brown, grey, and tan (or beige). These colors can be created by mixing the basic colors on the color wheel (except for white)

11. Color Harmonies

12. Split complementary: a color and two hues on either side of it’s complement

13. Triadic: 3 equally spaced hues (primary, secondary and tertiary)

14. Monochromatic: one hue plus black and white

15. Analogous: neighbors on the color wheel
