4. Colors are one of the most important building
blocks of art. Change an artwork's color palette,
and the mood and impact can become
extremely different. What are your favorite
artworks? Which colors do they use?

5. Color theory delves into the concepts and
rules behind using color. Entrepreneurs,
marketers, and artists all benefit from
knowing about color theory. When you
know the basics, you'll have an easier time
choosing the most appropriate colors for
artworks and products.
What is
Color Theory?
The color wheel was originally
developed by Isaac Newton.
The Color Wheel

6. Primary, Secondary & Tertiary
Primary Secondary Tertiary
You can blend the three primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) to form any of
the other colors on the wheel-or any color on the entire spectrum, even.

7. Colors are defined by these three:
Hue, Value,
and Saturation
Hue - the main color family
Value - degree of lightness or darkness
Saturation - how intense the color is
Complementary Analogous
Triad
These harmonious color combinations are
based on the color wheel:

Color combinations
For this activity, I'll be flashing several logos and
products with prominent color combinations.
Try to describe your first impressions-what
comes to mind when you see each?

9. Colors don't only have a visual effect--they
can also evoke emotions in people. For
example, blue is traditionally associated with
calmness and security, while red comes off as
intense and passionate. What do you think is
the emotional impact of other colors such as
orange, black, and green?
Color should always be a main consideration
when you're planning your artwork. Think of
the idea or mood that you'd like to convey,
then come up with a matching color palette.
You can include a dominant color along with
four accent colors to start.

everyday products, we will
be looking at iconic

artistic style, all of these

11. Color theory can be complex, but even by knowing
just the basics, you can learn how to incorporate
the right colors into your artwork. After all, colors
are powerful. They're crucial to conveying a certain
message, creating pleasing visuals, or evoking an
emotional response from your audience.
