Colour Theory

The new assignment for this week is to test your colour theory. We will be creating colours to match the colour swatches you cut out of magazines.

Description of Assignment: Cut out six colors that you like. (AVOID: black, white, or pure colors. You should be looking for shades or tints of a colour). Glue colour cutouts to a piece of  tag paper, and then using acrylic paints mix your own color to match. Paint your colour next to the magazine colour swatch. Remember paint dries slightly darker. Have fun.

Canvas Patch

The latest project is a mixed media piece on a CD case sized canvas. All of the small canvas pieces will be stitched onto a larger piece of canvas and hung in the school.
