Exploring Value and The Subtractive Color Theory
1. Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel.
When I was creating the Value Scale, at first I thought the dark shading would be the hardest and the light shading would be easiest. However, once I had to get lighter and lighter I realized that it was actually pretty difficult to do the last two boxes before the plain white box. When I was creating the Color Wheel, I had to do it three times because one of the secondary colors (red ) didn't come out the right way. The red kept turning out to be an orange color. Eventually, I found the right amount of magenta to add to the yellow in order to get red.
2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why?
I enjoyed working with the acrylic paint the most because I haven't used that type of paint a lot. Also, I like experimenting with paints. By experimenting I mean mixing colors together to see what colors you can get.
3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?
The most important discovery in the creation of the Value Scale was seeing all the different levels in shading that you can put into a drawing. The most important discovery in the creation of the Color Wheel was finding out what colors you get when mixing certain colors together.
4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?
The most important information I learned from watching the Value Scale video is that I have been shading the wrong way when making them. The most important information I learned from watching the Color Wheel video is that I never knew the real Primary Colors.

I agree with your comments about the value scale. The darkest end of the scale was the easiest to complete. In as much as you say you struggled, I think your scale is well executed. Your color wheel is very precise. The colors blended very nicely and I cannot tell that you used 2 or 3 different paints to create the final in the color wheel. Your circles are large and well done.
