Who is responsible for this Diagram?What does this Diagram demonstrate?

Name all colors on left-hand side of this Diagram –What do these colors collectively create?

Identify each Color System below (including medium) & Identify ALL visible Colors

Explain in detail how color is perceived when viewing RED apple below:

For example, what colors are reflected when viewing: pure red skin, white highlight, yellow interior etc.

Using Diagram below as a reference: describe the function of RODS and CONES

and how they relate to Color Vision

Name this diagram &Identify/Describe 3 main Features

Features of the 12 pt. Color Wheel

FEATURE 1:12 HUES

3 primaries (RYB)

3 secondaries (GVO)

6 tertiaries:(YO, YG, BG, BV, RV, RO)made from One Primary + One Secondary Color

 FEATURE 2:                              

Color Temperature:-2 halves: WARM & COOL-Warm = saturated, light value, "active,” visually

advance-Cool = low saturation, dark value, "passive,” visually

recede.

FEATURE 3:Color Families/Harmonies

AND: Color Opposites

Analogous Harmony

Complementary Contrast

Short Answer: Analyzing Artworks

• Describe how COLOR is used to achieve UNITY or a sense of BALANCE in this artwork.

• Name at least 1 other ELEMENT of art OR 1 PRINCIPLE of design & Describe how it functions in this artwork.
