Visual Arts 2212

Painting Unit

For this unit, we will first concentrate on colour schemes and mixing techniques.  After these introductory lessons, we will move onto a series of tempera, watercolour,  and acrylic paintings. 

We  will also be reviewing the proper way to clean and store brushes, discussing required materials for painting, etc.  Then we will move to creating  our own colour wheels, grey scales, colour scales, and learning various terms that we will need to know when painting. 

For the first few classes, we will practice mixing colours to create tints, shades, secondaries, tertiary colours, and complements.  If you miss these classes, come and see me to get the instruction sheet and to schedule a time when you can do this outside of class time in the art room.   Colour theory information and complete list of terms can be found in the files below.

Here is a useful website that we will use to look at the different types of paint that artists use.

Here are a few images of the types of paintbrushes that artists use.
