SOUP CANS and COLOR SCHEMES

 READ ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF   THIS POST!!!

Friday and Monday (2/9 and 2//12), you will create your own "Campbell's soup can" in the style and theory of Andy Warhol... but instead of Campbell's soup, you will create a can of something else relevant to contemporary society and/or important to you!

Then, you will COLOR each can/quadrant according to one of the Color Schemes I introduced briefly on Thursday (use a DIFFERENT scheme for each quadrant):

The color scheme options are:

* PRIMARY     * SECONDARY     * TRIAD

* ANALOGOUS     * COMPLEMENTARY     * SPLIT-COMPLEMENT

* WARM     * COOL     * MONOCHROMATIC

*note-- Period 2-- because of the drill, this is all NEW to you-! In the other periods, I spent about 5 minutes going over the various color schemes etc. I have confidence in you though. Read through everything carefully and follow the links and you'll do great! :)

EVERYONE-- You will have TWO DAYS to complete this assignment-- perhaps you will use Friday to come up with your idea and draw it, and decide on the FOUR color schemes you're going to use, and then Monday you'll color it in. Maybe you'll start adding color on Friday. Whatever works! But definitely use your time well on Friday, so you don't run out of time on Monday!

There is a packet of student examples hanging on the board, which you are welcome to look through for inspiration/as EXAMPLES (not to copy...)

More specifically, here are some student examples with comments on what worked well! and/or what was correctly/incorrectly done:

excellently done! An example of the same item, four ways,
colored with four different color schemes:
TOP LEFT: complementary (red/green)
TOP RIGHT: complementary (blue/orange)
BOTTOM LEFT: analogous (red, violet, blue)
BOTTOM RIGHT: complementary (yellow, violet)

the subject of "soup" isn't original, but cleverly spoofed into cans of color scheme soup

creative subject matter-- four different variations on a theme.
Incorrect coloring, though (red+yellow is not a color scheme, plus each quadrant should be different!)

same as the McDonald's one, above... also very well-rendered (drawn), but not colored with Color Schemes

TO FIGURE OUT COLOR SCHEMES...

You have interactive Color Wheels and a cheat sheet on each table, the textbook (page references are on the "Basic Color Theory" cheat sheet), and posters on the back wall,  to help you out.

OR, try this site: (CLICK HERE) 

and use this wheel for reference:

THIS PROJECT IS WORTH 20 POINTS!!

YOU WILL TURN IT IN AT THE END OF CLASS ON MONDAY

And...

I will be showing your work to another period... and they will vote on their favorites! (in different categories, like "best use of color", "most original", etc). --For PRIZES, of course!

in other words, MAKE A GOOD EFFORT! :) And, have fun with it! (Yes. Color Theory is a good time haha)
