Color Theory in Art
How have artists throughout history used color to achieve their artistic goals?
Activity 4 - Color Theory: On Your Own

Process: 
Now it is time for a serious attempt at creating color relationships in your own work. We will set up a still-life of different colored objects and draw them from observation using soft pastels; observing how colors relate to each other and deciding how to neutralize the individual colors on our palette. We will finish with a class critique and short written quiz on Color Theory.
