Module 4: Color Wheel and Value Scale

1. 
   It was an interesting experience to do. I realized that the value scale was the harder of the two because you had to be careful how darkly you colored so it would flow properly, and that it took a little work to be sure that the second last one would look light enough to naturally flow into the white. For the color wheel, it was interesting seeing the way that Cyan, Magenta, and yellow worked together to create other colors, that look closer to what a person knows.
2. I liked working with the pencil. This is because you have more control over it than with the paint. Acrylics dry very fast making it hard to change things or fix mistakes, they also are harder to control due to drip factor things like that.
3. 
   The most important discovery was how the colors worked together. This is because you are taught that red, blue, and yellow are the primary colors, so they are your base more often than not, and the image often comes out darker or not quite how you want. But with cyan, magenta and yellow, it lightens the work up to show other colors and not limit yourself to a darker image. In it you can use much brighter colors making for lighter scenes.
4. Like in the previous question, I’d say learning about the colors was the most important. I feel like people understand gradient due to the fascination with people turning their pictures black and white, so they see and understand shades of grey, but most people are still under the impression of the three prescientific primary colors being the primary colors, which is now considered wrong. The videos were interesting in that it helped me to complete the project, but other than that they were very dry, and somewhat hard to pay attention to at times.
