I really enjoyed the process of creating the color wheel & the value scale. This class is a lot of somewhat time consuming work, but I'm finding myself enjoying the projects immensely. They give me the opportunity to do things that I normally don't have time to try. I got some really cool art supplies this week, & know that I will continue to experiment with them even after I have completed this course. I found the process of creating the color wheel a bit more fun than the value scale, due to the medium of using paints. It was fun to mix the paints to create new colors on my little paint pallet. The value scale was interesting though, too. I used charcoal pencils for this process. The most important personal discovery in the creation of these studies was that I love doing this. The most important over-all discovery that it is somewhat difficult to make a value scale. I found the slight differences in the shades sort of difficult to put on to paper. One important thing I learned from the video on value scales was to use a piece of paper to cover each block when it was completed, but since I used charcoal pencils instead of graphite as was used in the video, it didn't work as well & was still somewhat smudgy. The most important thing I learned from the color wheel video is that we were all taught the wrong primary colors when we were young. I found both the videos interesting & used the techniques they showed in the creation of my projects.
