Color Theory Hand Exercise

The Color Theory Hand Exercise was due Friday, October 1. Remember, it is -5pts./day late and the project is worth 20pts. Please come see me if you're missing this so I can give you the template needed, or you can take a page from your sketch book and draw 10 concentric circles in pen.

Directions:

1. Trace your hand(s) over the concentric circles

2. Choose whether you wish for your background to be cool colors or warm colors

3. Whatever you choose for your background (cool or warm) choose the opposite for your hand

4. Begin coloring the background, each "ring" being a seperate warm or cool color. If the "ring" runs into your hand, color that part of the hand the complimentary color of the color of that particular ring.

5. Do this until the whole paper is colored.

Below is an in-depth color wheel - copy this in your sketchbook. All you need to know now are the primary colors, secondary colors, complimentary colors, warm and cool colors. Click on the image to get a more clear and concise viewing of the colorwheel.
