Painting Theory Poster- Criteria & Objectives• Students will make a painting theory poster exploring fifteen techniques and concepts that are the core of painting.• Students must follow the painting theory guide packet provided by Mr. Turek.• Each component of the color theory poster must be labeled legibly and executed flawlessly to receive full credit. • Students may use watercolors and acrylics, paste of any kind, paper, posterboard, contact paper, sticker paper, graphite, and permanent

markers.• Five points will be awarded for creativity making a total of twenty points. A creative execution is exemplified by unique organization,

unique or assistive font choices, logical arrangements, more examples than necessary, an obvious aesthetic or design to the execution of each example.

• Students must have all fifteen components as follows:• Color theory.

1. Color wheel2. Complementary color scale3. Color value scale 4. Two Colors in One5. B & W Value scale

• Brushstroke Techniques.6. Dry brush7. Hard edge, opaque strokes8. Opaque washes9. Layering opaque vs. transparent washes over a dark subject10. Layering transparent washes11. Wet on wet, bleeding, blooms, backwash12. Graded washes, gradual blends13. Lifting, blotting, sponging14. Salt effects, additive effects15. Blowing, dripping

• The objective of this lesson is to understand the fundamentals of painting and color theory as it applies to paint.

Color theory components.•Color wheel•Complementary color scale•Color value scale •Two Colors in One•B & W Value scale

Color Wheel

Your color wheel will contain• All three primary colors• All three secondary• All six tertiary colors

Be creative.

Color Value Scales

Your color value scale will contain:All six colors with seven steps of shading/tints.

Notice the relative starting points of each pure hue.

Complementary Color Scales

For each complementary color pair you will make a value scale between the two hues in seven steps.

Two Colors in One

Pick two simultaneous contrast colors plus a neutral grey to make a color change in different contexts.

Brushstroke Techniques• Dry brush• Hard edge, opaque strokes• Opaque washes• Layering opaque vs. transparent

washes over a dark subject• Layering transparent washes• Wet on wet, bleeding, blooms,

backwash• Graded washes, gradual blends• Lifting, blotting, sponging• Salt effects, additive effects• Blowing, dripping
