3. Assignment 1: Itten’s Color Wheel
Explore color systems and interactions through
creation of a color wheel.
- Created rings and star points with compass,
protractor, and ruler.
- Mixed pure hues and tinted and shaded to
produce color runs.
- Tints: 50%, 90%; Shades: 25%, 50%, 75%.
- Emphasis placed on consistency around the
color wheel and even shifts down star points.
6. Assignment 2: Triadic Color Scheme
and Atmospheric Perspective
Develop triadic color palette to create atmospheric
perspective of a nighttime scene.
- Created color key communicating what values will
be used in final piece.
- Photographed source imagery and transfer to final
ground.
- Using values from color key, created a composition
incorporating atmospheric perspective.

8. Assignment 3: Color Interaction
Principles of color interaction and simultaneous
contrast
- Project began finding color aid studies to
make 4 colors appear as 3 using specific color
attributes.
- Then, imagery was sourced from
surrounding environments to match ground
colors, and the shifting colors were applied
digitally.
15. Assignment 4: Complimentary Color
Scenario and Isometric Pattern
Use a complimentary color scenario to create an
isometric pattern that shifts across the composition.
- Create complimentary color palette with 50
hues and arrange by value, temperature, and
intensity.
- Render isometric pattern using repetitive
motifs.
- Use color runs from palette to facilitate runs in
final design.

17. Assignment 5: Color Transparency and Full Palette
Create a composition from reference incorporating
the illusion of transparency.
- Start by creating an illusion of transparency
with color aid, and use it as a basis for a color
run that creates the tone.
- Photograph skull and transfer onto ground,
abstracting into shapes.
- Use visual texture collage to build illusions of
transparency and create the skull.
21. Assignment 6: Transformation in
Panoramic Design
- Render pattern, shape, and form to create a
design, focusing on isometric grid patterns.
- Develop color from three photographs: an
old master painting, a personal photo, and a
natural object.
- Develop color relationships in the final
composition using paint and collage
elements.
