Sept. 26 Class

Learning Goals: Understand colour theory and use colours to effectively convey an emotion.

Today I discussed colour theory.  Here is a website that offers a good summary:

Here is another website that offers a fun app to play around with different colour schemes that designers might use to pick colours for websites:

I gave a handout as a summary and an assignment for you to practice using water colour and applying colour schemes.  The assignment is to paint Edvard Munch's The Scream, but expressing a different emotion.

Handouts: 

• Colour Theory Vocabulary
• Redefining The Scream

I also gave handouts that discussed what colour is as well as colour's symbolism in different cultures.

Handouts:

• What is colour?
• 'What is colour' question sheet

Completing the question sheet will help you on your test next week!
