Color Scheme Abstract Art

Intro:

In art and design, the ways groups of colors are used are called COLOR SCHEMES.  There are many different types of color schemes, but we'll focus on 5 for this:

• Primary - red, blue, yellow
• Secondary - orange, purple, green
• Complementary - hues across each other on the color wheel (choose one set of two)
• Monochromatic - uses 1 hue (color), many values (lightness and darkness)
• Analogous - uses 3 hues found next to each other on the color wheel (use only 3)

Process:

• Take your paper and draw at least 15 lines and shapes that overlap and go off the edge of the page.
• Fold your paper once at a straight angle.  Unfold.
• Fold your paper a second time at a straight angle.  Unfold.
• Fold your paper again and unfold.
• You should now see 6 areas (the folds are the lines separating the areas).
• In 5 of the sections, color the spaces using each of the above color schemes.
• In the 6th section, you can use a color scheme of your choice.
• At the end, use a marker to trace over your original pencil lines.
