4. Hue the name of the color itself. They have values from light to dark. Color Created when light is reflected off of a surface. We see the reflected light and our eyes convert it to color. Tint a lighter value– made by adding white to the hue. Shade a darker value– made by adding black to the hue. Intensity the brightness of the hue. Can be changed by changing the value or adding another color to it. Value the lightness or darkness of a color The PROPERTIES OF COLOR:

5. Color Color comes from light, either natural or artificial. What happens to color in low light? What happens to color in bright light? Ellen Phelan, Light in a Far Field, 2001. DULL COLORS COLORS POP- APPEAR BRIGHTER

6. Color Color is produced by the way our vision responds to different wavelengths of light. When a ray of white light (such as sunlight) passes through a glass prism, the ray is bent, or refracted. This ray of light then separates into individual bands of color, called the spectrum.

7. Color Artists’ colors come from powered substances called pigments. These natural or chemical materials are combined with other materials to make the various paints, crayons, inks, and pencils commonly used by artists.

8. The name of the color itself. They have values from light to dark. HUE RED YELLOW VIOLET

9. The lightness or darkness of a hue. VALUE + = HUE WHITE TINT TINT: Made by adding white to a color so that it is lighter. SHADE: Made by adding black to a color so that it is darker. + = HUE BLACK SHADE

14. NEUTRALS (NOT REALLY COLORS) White Black Gray Beige

15. Neutrals Neutrals don't usually show up on the color wheel. Neutrals include black, white, gray, and sometimes brown and beige. They are sometimes called “earth tones.” There are a few different ways to make neutrals. You can blend black and white to make gray. You can create brown in two ways—by blending two complementary colors together or by blending all three primary colors together. Snow in New York by Robert Henri In Snow in New York, Robert Henri uses many different neutrals. You can see a few glimpses of red paint, but the overall effect is of natural browns, whites and grays--like those you might see in rocks, sand, dirt, or clay.

16. PRIMARY HUES Pure and basic Cannot be made from any other colors All other colors are made from these Equal distance from each other on color wheel RED YELLOW BLUE

24. Pablo Picasso, The Old Guitarist, 1903 This work is from Picasso’s Blue Period, which was, in part, an outgrowth of the suicide of a close friend. What aesthetic experience do you get from this painting? How does hue help emphasis this?

25. WARM COLORS  Appear hot like the sun or like fire  Give feelings of gaiety, activity or cheerfulness  Appear to advance-they make body look larger  Can give a nervous impression if overdone

26. The Wolf River, Kansas Albert Bierstadt c.1859 Oil on canvas 48 1/8 x 38 1/8 inches (122.5 x 97.1 cm) The Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, USA Warm color scheme

27. COOL COLORS  Remind us of water or sky  Give feelings of quietness or restfulness  Appear to recede and make body look smaller  Can be depressing if overdone

28. Color evokes mood Cool color scheme Pablo Picasso, The Tragedy, 1903, oil on wood, 1.053 x.690 m (41 7/16 x 27 3/16 in.), National Gallery of Art, Washington,

29. Andy Warhol Elvis I and II 1964 silkscreen on acrylic, on aluminum 208.3 x 208.3 cm Complementary Color scheme Complementary colors: colors opposite each other on the color wheel Red/GreenOrange/BlueYellow/Violet

30. Complementary Scheme Colors directly diagonal on the color wheel

31. Complementary Colors Complementary colors are the colors that are directly across from each other on the color wheel Blue & Orange Red & Green Purple & Yellow

32. Complementary Colors Red and green are an example of complementary colors. Look at the painting Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose by John Singer Sargent. The reddish-pink color of the flowers really stands out against the green background. Imagine if Sargent had painted all yellow or blue flowers instead. They would just blend in with the green (ho-hum). Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose by John Singer Sargent

33. Warm Colors In The Fighting Temeraire by William Turner, the warm colors of the sunset give a feeling of brightness and heat. Look at the red spreading from the setting sun and the deep golden glow on the water. If you're feeling cold, looking at colors like these can actually make you feel warmer! The Fighting Temeraire by William Turner

34. Warm Colors The Walk, Lady with a Parasol by Claude Monet In this painting by Claude Monet, The Walk, Lady with a Parasol, the cool colors of the ground and sky contributes to the peaceful feeling of the painting. Imagine how different the painting would look with a bright red sky—it might seem more exciting or energetic than restful.

35. Monochromatic Colors A monochromatic scheme consists of different values (tints and shades) of a single color. An example of a monochrome color scheme could include any color mixed with white or black. The example above is a green monochromatic color scheme. A shade of green is made by mixing green and black. A tint of green is made by mixing green and white.

36. Analogous Colors These colors are located next to each other on the wheel, such as: Blue, Blue-green, Green Red, Red-Orange, and Orange Analogous colors are sometimes called harmonious colors.

37. Analogous Colors Orange, yellow-orange, and yellow are also examples of analogous colors. They are blended nicely in Sunflowers, a painting by Vincent Van Gogh. How do you know that these colors are closely related? They share a color—each of them contains some yellow. Sunflowers By Vincent Van Gogh

38. Split-Complement Color Scheme A split-compliment color scheme includes a main color and the two colors on each side of its complementary (opposite) color on the color wheel. An example of a split- compliment color scheme could be green, violet-red, and red- orange.

39. Triadic Color Scheme A triadic color scheme uses colors at the points of an equilateral triangle (three colors spaced equally on the color wheel). These are sometimes called balanced colors. An example of a triadic color scheme could be red, blue, and yellow; green, orange, and purple, etc.
