Vocabulary: Hue, Value, Intensity
Color is everywhere. In our clothes, the sky, trees, flowers, billboards designed to attract our attention, on the web and on television. There are literally thousands of colors; from bright to dull (intensity) and light to dark (value). Colors are powerful; they can make objects seem to glow, to come forward and recede, or to appear bigger or smaller. Colors can also be symbolic, with meanings that change from culture to culture. A color can symbolize an object or thing such as blue for water and green for grass and the leaves of trees or it may symbolize an emotion or idea, such as red for love, yellow for fear and blue for sadness. A trained artist is familiar with all of these options and can select and combine colors to create a desired impression or to evoke a certain mood.
How we see color:
Color is a property of light. When we say an object is red, we mean that its surface absorbs certain wavelengths of light that we call red, we identify the object as red in color. If all wavelengths of light are absorbed, we identify the color as black, if all wavelengths of color are reflected, we see white.
Color has 3 characteristics: hue, value and intensity.
•Hue is actually the color we see —such as red.
•Value refers to the lightness and darkness of a hue. For example, maroon is a dark value (shade) of red and pink is a light value (tint) of red.
•Intensity is the brightness or dullness of a color.

Agenda: Color Mixing
Step 1:
On a square piece of blending paper, create a design of your choice. Consider color: what colors will combine to create other colors? When you fill the paper, place colors that will mix well next to one another. Fill the entire paper leaving minimal white space.
Step 2:
Paint your drawing with water and watch the colors bleed together and mix to make new colors. You can sprinkle with salt to create white spots.
