1. Hue The name of a color.
2. Intensity The purity of the hue.
3. Value The lightness or darkness of a hue.

Neutral – Colors such as Black, White, Grey, or Brown go with any color.

7. COLOR SCHEMES

10. Activity
Your goal for the day is to demonstrate your knowledge of the color wheel, to identify the different emotions associated with different colors and explain how color is a factor in everyday life.
Draw an image that shows a creative cycle (not just a circle or wheel).
With a pencil, label the different parts of the color wheel so you won’t make mistakes once you start painting. Use your notes for this.
PAINT IT UP!
