Ok, so we have learned what our next project is going to be. We are doing stamps, again! Almost like what we did last semester, except that the stamps we are going to use are like, five times bigger than the ones we used before. Just looking at the blank stamp is very very intimidating. Anyway, more on the actual project itself. For the project, we have to come up with a phrase, or a word that we like. Then from that word or phrase, we have to come up with a picture, and make the picture out of the word or phrase. It sounds really hard. First of all, I always have so much trouble with these kind of projects. The ones that sound so cool, and I want to make something so cool, but I can never think of anything cool! I am thinking something along the lines of a Viking (for Western), but I will have to sketch it out and see how I like it. Already, everyone at my table is coming up with funny and good ideas. Like Micah is doing a pretty funny one. And Kaitryn came up with also a clever and funny concept… Hmm I am just not sure what I should do!
Ok, so I finally finished this color palette project. it took a lot of time, and a couple mess ups, before I finally finished it all. Now for the explanation of my colors and the process I went through to get them RED Dark Red- For the dark red, I took the regular red and mixed in some darker red and black. Medium Red- I used the regular red, mixed in just a little bit of the darker red, and then a little, like the littlest dib dab of white. Light Red- I took the regular red paint and mixed it with a fair amount of white. ORANGE Dark Orange- I took the orange colored paint, then mixed in some red, but just a little bit. Medium Orange- I took the regular orange paint and mixed a little bit of yellow into it. Light Orange- I took the dark yellow and mixed in a little bit of orange into it. YELLOW Dark Yellow- I took the dark yellow paint and mixed in a little bit of regular yellow. Medium Yellow- For this color, I mixed the regular yellow with just a little bit of white. Light Yellow- For this color, I mixed the regular yellow paint with a lot of white. GREEN Dark Green- For this color I mixed the green paint with black. Medium Green- For this color, I mixed the regular green with just a little bit of white. Light Green- I took the color I made for medium green and mixed in more white. BLUE Dark Blue- For the dark blue, I took the blue paint and mixed in black. Medium blue- For this color, I took the regular blue paint, but mixed in a little less black than I did for the dark blue. Light Blue- I took the regular blue paint than added it to some white paint. PURPLE Dark Purple- I took the purple paint and mixed in a lot of black paint. Medium Purple- I took the purple paint, and mixed in a little bit of black and just the smallest little dib dab of white. Light Purple- I took the purple paint and added it to some white.   Ok, so here is the low down on our next project. We are making a color palette. Our first step of this project was to go out and search through several magazines until you find three different values (light, medium, and dark) for the six primary and secondary colors (Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple). Once you have collected all these colors, you cut them into little squares. Not big ones though, because you have to be able to fit all the 18 pieces of paper on one page, and there needs to be space underneath each square of color because the second part of this project includes color matching. What I mean is you have to look at this little square of color and then from that, you must mix paints until you get that, or at least extremely close to that, color. Once you think you have found your colors, for example, light purple, medium purple, and dark purple, you are going to paint those three colors underneath their matching color square… Still following?? Then from there, after you have painted a dab, you use those three colors and make almost like an offset, square bulls eye, going from either light to dark or dark to light. I think this project will be a little difficult because I am not sure how well I will be able to mix colors together. I am just hoping for the best!
