Color Wheel & Value Scale Project

1. Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel.

I thought doing the color wheel and the value scale were a fun, simple project. The value scale took a lot more time than the color wheel, but turned out better than my color scale. 

2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why? 

I liked the value scale better because it was with one material, not all the colors like the color wheel. Plus, my colors didn't seem to match with the video's colors. My closest Hobby Lobby store with all the paint supplies type of 'cyan' wasn't as dark as the one in the video so my colors don't seem correct, but that was my outcome with cyan, magenta, and yellow. I enjoyed the value one because it was simple, but also time consuming and a bit hard at the same time. The concept was simple, but once I went to do the scale, I found myself struggling to make it perfect. 

3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?

I discovered that the scale and the wheel are harder to make than it looked, but very useful. 

4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?

I liked the videos. They were short and to the point, but full of information. The most important thing I learned was that blue, red, and yellow are NOT primary colors, they are secondary. Since I am not an art major nor have ever taken an art class until now, I did not know this. I now know that cyan, magenta, and yellow are primary colors while blue, red, and yellow are secondary colors.
