Art

            Today my mom’s Art Docent lesson was on Analogous Colors and Tints and Shades. She spent a lot of time preparing for this lesson. I definitely enjoyed the lesson and the project.

I learned a lot in the lesson. I learned that analogous colors are three adjacent colors on a color wheel. For example, Red, Orange, and Yellow, or Green, Blue-Green, and Blue are sets of analogous colors. Tints are the colors that are formed when you add white to any primary, secondary, or tertiary color. Shades are the colors that are formed when you make any primary, secondary, or tertiary colors darker. I think this is very helpful art information.

In the project, we each got a strip of a picture to scale up onto a large piece of paper. Then, we colored in the picture, the gray being the pure version of the color, the white being the tint, and the black being the shade.

All in all, to prepare the paints, the lesson, and the energy to keep us all in order and quiet, my mom must have used a lot of effort on this project. So,

Thank You Very Much, Mom!
