Value Scale and Color Wheel

Creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel was simple and fun. It was a good way of releasing the stress of everyday life and trying to exercise your creativity again. Being able to create something with your own hands is very satisfying. The Value Scale shows me how to create different degrees of the same color and how it would affect an image. To make the color wheel, it was interesting how I sometimes had to mix different colors to create a completely new color. I really enjoyed working with Value Scale the most. It's nice to see how the different values of a color can change the meaning of a painting and bring different emotions from the people viewing it. For me, one of the most important discoveries from these projects is that it is possible to have fun and release stress without having to turn on any electronic device. I was able to step away from all my electronic devices (phones, tv, computer...) while trying to complete this project. I see this as an important discovery because today we depend so much on electronics to be able to entertain ourselves and these electronics have the 'fun' laid out for us instead of us creating our own fun and distraction by using our imagination. The videos were very instrumental in helping me understand what I was suppose to do for the project and how it was suppose to look like when it is finished. I was having a bit of trouble understand some of the instructions on blackboard but the video definitely cleared some of it for me. The most important information I learned from the video was that you can use different colors and mix them together to create a new, totally different color. I already new this in some way, but it was amazing seeing how the person used yellow and blue to create a green color, for example.
