fifth post



I think creating the Value Scale and the Color Wheel were helpful to show how colors mix together and the variation of values that a work of art can have. However, making the Value Scale seemed kind of basic, because I've done it before a bunch of times. I liked working with the acrylic paint more than working with graphite because mixing the paints to become the perfect shade was challenging. Painting took a lot of concentration and precision which I preferred over trying to figure out the appropriate value for the square I would be working on. Working with a pencil, I think, was harder because it was difficult to get the values lighter and lighter. I think the most important information I learned from watching the two videos for this project where learning how to combine the colors and how to use graphite to make the value scale.
