cool + warm colors
|
Warm colors are;
|
Cool colors are;
|
primary colors
|
Primary colors can not be made. You have to start with them or purchase them. They are used to mix + make other colors.They are RED, BLUE, + YELLOW. they always form a triangle on the color wheel, that is ANY color wheel.
Piet Mondrian used basis lines + basic Primary colors in his artwork.

secondary colors
|
When 2 primary colors are mixed together, a secondary color is created, just like magic! Red + Yellow = Orange, Blue + Yellow = Green, Red + Blue + Violet. Orange, Green, + Violet are the Secondary colors. On a Color Wheel, like seen above, the secondary closure surrounded by the primary colors. Placement on the color wheel can help you to understand how secondary colors are made. Look who is next to secondary color on both sides. The 2 colors that make it are!

step-by-step instructions
1. draw SLIGHT curve near left side bottom
|
2. draw 2 vertical parallel lines up from sides - draw 2 diagonal lines as shown
|
3. 2 vertical lines up as shown
|
4- draw a slight curve, a bit higher up for the 2nd bottle or vessel - higher up makes it look like the vessel is further back
|
5- imagine where the sides of the bottle would be + start to curve inward the shape using curved lines as shown
|
6- thin oval represents opening of vessel
|
4- draw the table line - shown on left + right
|
draw a line from top-left corner to bottom-right corner
|
draw line from other 2 corners
|
7- draw 2 horizontal lines
|
8 - draw 3 vertical lines from top of page to bottom
|
9- with a warm color, fill-in 1 shape inside a bottle
|
10- fill in another shape with the warm color
|
11- repeat with a 2nd warm color
|
12- continue to fill in shapes inside the vessel 1 by 1
|
13- the entire shapes of the vessels are filled in with color
|
14- start coloring the background using mostly cool colors 1 area by 1
|
15- continue filling in background

- crayons or oil pastels
vocabulary
- background - The part of a picture plane that seems to be farthest from the viewer.
- color - The visual sensation dependent on the reflection or absorption of light from a given surface. The three characteristics of color are hue, value, and intensity.

- composition - The organization of elements in a work of art.
- cool colors - Colors suggesting coolness: blue, green, + purple.
- harmony - The principle of design that combines elements in a work of art to emphasize the similarities of separate but related parts.
- line - A point moving in space. Line can vary in width, length, curvature, color, or direction.
- primary Colors -

- shape - A two-dimensional are or plane that may be open or closed, free-form or geometric. It can be found in nature or is made by humans.
- space - An area in which objects or images can exist.
- texture - The surface quality of materials either actual (tactile) or implied (visual). It is one of the elements of art.
- unity - Compositional similarity, oneness, togetherness, or cohesion. Total visual effect in a composition achieved by the careful blending of elements of art and principles of design.
- value - The lightness or darkness of a hue or neutral color. A value scale shows the range of values from black to white.
- variety - A principle of art concerned with combining one or more elements of art in different ways to create interest.
- warm colors - Colors suggesting warmth: red, yellow, and orange.
activity
- introduce, explain, + show color wheel, cools. warm colors, primary, + secondary colors
- a still life of 3 bottles can be set-up or use the example
- follow step-by-step drawing + coloring instructions
- a still life of 3 bottles can be set-up or use the example
- follow step-by-step drawing + coloring instructions
clean-up
- minimal time for clean-up
- only put away coloring mediums + art project
variation
- use another medium such as paint, watercolor, oil pastel
- -use an alternate size paper
- make amore complex illustration
- -draw curvy or wavy lines to separate colors
- switch cool/warm on background/foregroud
