(can't figure out how to get the underling turned off on the above text so I deleted and started over... or to how to get the font to stay in Arial as a default... also had text disappear.. isn't this fun?)
The above color wheel was made for Jane Davies class ... I am finding out the hardest part is creating secondary and tertiary colors which need a lot of medium added to get the primary color to light and show up well.
So I decided to try graduating the color block by block creating a sort of a grid pattern which was also an assignment in the class. Kind of like the patterns it made. Then Jill French, one of the class members, submitted a piece in which she cut the color of the wheel in 1" squares and played around with that. She said "After this exercise, I have a new found awe and appreciation for Josef
Albers, Ellsworth Kelly, Frank Stella, and Mondrian - who generally
worked with limited colors and constrained, geometric layouts. It's
harder than it looks!!
Think I will cut up my grids and play around with this idea
looking good, BJ!!! isn't it fun!!
