I have to admit, this was a cool exercise! The color wheel was by fare my favorite of the two. However, I do understand how important the value scale exercise is to the overall fundamentals of art. In my high school art class, we worked a lot different shading techniques, and we all had to create a value scale for our first assignment.
The media that I enjoyed working with the most was acrylic paint. As I have stated on numerous occasions, I am not a very good artist. Never is this more evident than when I drawing a picture with a pencil or charcoal. Nevertheless, when you paint, no matter how poor of an artist you might be, you can show some type of artistic ability in your work.
The most interesting thing that I discovered at the culmination of this project was how human nature always seems to push the envelope. Humans are very curious by nature, so to assume the first man had a pallet of his primary colors and began to mix them in-order to come up with different color’s is very intriguing to me.
The most important information that I will take away from the video was how mix the secondary colors from the primary colors. I took a couple of art classes in school, but I never really learned to mix colors properly. After watching the video, I truly began to view artists in a different way. To have the ability to paint or draw is amazing on its own, but to have the ability to see colors and put them on canvas is truly a gift. I would definitely recommend this video for anyone that wants to learn more about this subject.
