Color Theory Painting Unit Introduction to Color Theory and Painting in the art studio classroom.
Color theory is the study of color mixing and the effects of specific color combinations. |
Learning Targets:
- Understanding how to use paint supplies responsibly. -Demonstrating the appropriate procedures for getting and returning materials. -Using painting techniques effectively. |

Painting Activity 1:
Learning Targets:
- Understanding how to use paint supplies responsibly.
-Demonstrating the appropriate procedures for getting and returning materials.
-Using painting techniques effectively.
Monochromatic refers to all tints, tones, and shades of a single hue (color).
A tint is a color plus white. To mix a tint you need a lot of white and a small amount of color. The more color you add the darker your tint will get.
A shade is a color plus black. To mix a shade you need a lot of color and a small amount of black. The more black you add the darker the tint. Be careful! Black can easily overpower your color and make it too dark quickly.
Always add the darker stronger color into the the lighter weaker color.

Painting Activity 2:
Complementary colors are colors opposite from each other on the color wheel. Red and green, blue and orange, yellow and violet are complementary color teams.
Red & Green
Too mix green add a small abount of blue to a large amount of yellow.
Blue & Orange
To mix an orange add a small amount of red to a large amount of yellow.
Yellow & Violet (purple)
To mix a violet, or purple, you need to mix red and blue. However, blue is a little stronger of a pigment than red. So you need a bit more red when mixing to get a nice grape violet color.
Painting Activity 3:
Analogous colors are any three or four colors that are neighbors on the color wheel. They share a common hue (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green Blue Violet).

Painting Activity 4:
Neutral colors, or earth tones, are all tints and shades of black, white, gray, and brown.
Brown
To mix a brown you must use complementary colors: Yellow and Purple, Orange and Blue, and Green with Red. When mixing brown you will find the color will be off at first. You must problem solve how to fix your color to be a more accurate brown.
If your color is too green, then you must add the complementary color red.
If your color is too violet, then you must add the complementary color of yellow.
If your color looks too orange, then you must add blue because blue is the complementary color of orange.

WATERCOLOR STILL LIFE
Students studied a still life arrangement and drew the objects using overlapping and values to create depth. They then transferred their composition to watercolor paper and are recreating the rounded values using watercolors.

Floral Value Painting
After studying the paintings by Georgia O'Keeffe, students will create their own painting study of a flower. Focusing on the techniques of mixing tints and shades as well as creating contrast with color choices.
"Everyone has many associations with a flower - the idea of flowers. Still - in a way- nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small - we haven't the time - and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time. If I could paint the flower exactly as I see it no one would see what I see because I would paint it small like the flower is small. So I said to myself - I'll paint what I see - what the flower is to me but I'll paint it big and they will be surprised into taking time to look at it." - Georgia O'Keeffe

Landscape in Line
The title above is linked to Curkovic website that has resources that were used for this lesson. We learned about placement and size in a landscape artwork and how to use the three ground areas of foreground, middle ground, and background to create a sense of depth in the drawing. This project involved filling the artwork with a variety of lines and using lines to create different values.

OP Art
Optical art uses the way our eye naturally sees and how our brain interprets what we see to create illusions of movement, vibration, swelling, and warping.
Follow the steps below to create your own unique OP art design.
