The focus of this week at Hughes was color theory. All of my students created value scale paintings, creating tints and shades for red, orange and yellow. I wanted the students to have the experience of a small color family, so we began with two primary colors and created a secondary. With all of these colors, we created three tints and three shades.
This was an extensive exercise for students to use for their final painting. Many of my students had not had experience with paint, color theory or color mixing. It was a valuable lesson for students to learn about mixing dark into light and the effect of black and white on each color.
