• You are going on a journey to yourself, with ‘signs’ along the way to help you

• The paddle was used in early vessels to propel the vessel through the water

• For this unit, the paddle will symbolise the ‘motivation’ to paint about yourself.

Paddles were often decorated to symbolise things that were meaningful to the people who used them like this paddle and the ones in the next slides. The artist who work with paddles have each put their own ideas and interests on their work.

• These are traditional

paddles with

worked into them

by carving

• The artist Leane Culy, paints on old paddles and oars.

He is well known for his work on

paddles

What is Colour?

The color wheel fits

together like a

puzzle - each color in a specific place

Primary Colors

Primary colors are not mixed from other

elements and they generate all other

colors.

• Red

• Yellow

• Blue

By mixing two primary colors, a secondary

color is created.

Secondary Colors

.

• Red + Yellow = Orange

• Yellow + Blue = Green

• Blue + Red = Purple

• Intermediate, or Tertiary, colors are

created by mixing a primary and a

secondary.

•red-orange

•yellow-orange

•yellow-green

•blue-green

•blue-purple

•red-purple

Tertiary Colors

What is TonE? ……………………………

…………………………… …………………………… LIGHT DARK

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Shade in your grid from left to right. Each number from 1 – 10 represents the layers of applied pencil used to make the shades of tone. Example: 1 = 1 layer of pencil 2 = 2 layers of pencil 3 = 3 layers of pencil When drawing in tone consider the direction of the light. For instance Look at the right side of the red apple in the picture. It is a dark tone or shade of red. The lightest part of the orange apple is the front as this is the lightest shade of orange. Colour the tone sheet with graded tones then generate one tonal image.

TonE?

1. Draw the simple shapes.

2. Show the light direction

with a directional arrow.

3. Use your degrees of

shade to create an object

with form
