Value Scale & Color Wheel

Creating the value scale and color wheel was more time consuming than I thought it would be. The value scale was a bit difficult in making sure that the values were correctly represented while going from white to black. The color wheel was fun to make and once the circles were sketched out, I found it to be relaxing. The media I enjoy working with best is a digital camera. I think taking the pictures with a camera versus scanning it creates a much better quality photo. As silly as it sounds, I had forgotten that the three primary colors mixed together are what create black. I also think that creating value for different colors is much more difficult than it seems and that it takes artists time to do so, whether they be drawing or painting. The Paint/Pigment Primary Colors video was interesting, as it stated that as children we are taught that red, yellow and blue are the primary colors, when really red and blue are too dark to be primary colors. This is where the colors cyan and magenta come into play. I think this video was helpful in making it very clear and simplistic in explaining why this is the case.
