Color Mixing and MatchingDue: February 13th

Project DescriptionIn this project, we will be investigating color in relation to color mixing, values and transparency. You have beengiven 12 paper swatches. You will create your own design that uses these swatches in representing the 12 colors ofthe color wheel. In your design you will need to plan to have either 4 or 5 areas for each of these colors. For the firstarea, you will mix paint to match the swatch. Then you will also need to mix the tint, the tone, and the shade of thatcolor. Your goals with the tint, tone and shades are to have these values remain consistent across your design. So farthis is 4 areas for each color. You will need to attach a portion of the swatch next to the color you have mixed to

match it. You can permanently attach this swatch by creating a separate segment for it, or have it be part of theoriginal segment of the paint. Or, if you dont want to permanently attach the swatch, then you can simply tape asmall segment of it to your painting for the critique and remove it afterwards. Whatever you decide to do will impactthe number of segments that you will need for each color in your design.

As a reminder, your piece must contain the 12 colors of the color wheel, as indicated by the paper swatches. They are:Primary colors red, blue, yellowSecondary colors green, orange, violet

Tertiary Colors red-orange, red-violet, blue-green, blue-violet, yellow-green, yellow-orange

It must also contain the following values for each of the 12 colors:Tint color plus whiteTone color plus grayShade color plus black
