Monochromatic Scheme made of all the hues tints

Monochromatic Scheme= made of all the hues (tints and shades) of a single color • This scheme looks clean and soothing. • You can use it to establish an overall mood. • Made by mixing the “single color” with neutral colors such as black and white. (blue-light blue-bright bluenavy)

Pablo Picasso, "The Tragedy“ In his early twenties, the young Pablo Picasso began to tint his paintings a pale, cold blue. For three years (1901 -1904), he paints as if he is viewing the world through blue spectacles. No other artist had ever done this.

Analogous Scheme= made of colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. • Composed of 3 “neighbor colors” next to each other on the color wheel. • One color is used as a dominant color while others are used as accent colors.

Vincent Van Gogh, "The Iris" 1889

Complementary Scheme= made of two colors opposite each other on the color wheel. • This combination gives high-contrast, by using a warm color with a cool color

Paul Cezanne, "Still Life with Onions"

Acrostic Poem • An acrostic is a poem in an alphabetic script, in which the first letter in the text spells out another message. Really interested in training my dog some obedience commands Excited anytime I get to hang out with my family and friends Determined to have mine on clothing line some day • Your “color acrostic” should spell out a color and talk about the symbol in your color wheel that represents you. Find a way to explain, in your poem, why you chose that symbol to represent you.

Illustration • a picture, design, diagram, etc. used to decorate or explain something • Your illustration should be a picture (literal, abstract, shapes, etc) that explains your poem. This is a chance to be creative! • The illustration should be drawn and THEN colored in one of three color schemes-monochromatic, analogous, or complementary.
