Everything You Need To Know About Color

It's really important to familiarize yourself and know what the elements of art and principles of design. One element of art that is really important is color. Color is everywhere. Therefore it is important for artists and art students to have a broad and extensive knowledge of color. However, if we don't think about colors frequently, we tend to forget some of the important vocabulary, terms and techniques.

So, in case you do forget, you have a brand new packet to refer to: 'Color. An Element of Art.'
This packet discusses most, if not all, of the color theories and vocabularies that you are required to know in IB Art. The packet discusses these topics in the following order:

1. [introduction]
2. constructing the color wheel
3. complements & split complements
4. neutral hues & intensity
5. analogous
6. warm & cool colors
7. value
8. tone

It is recommended that students do not print this document since the packet is filled with color. We recommend this packet as a digital-use only.

This packet is available on the IB Art Course Google Drive Folder. Click here to access the document.

We hope this packet will enrich your knowledge of color. More information about color and color theory will be added to this document in the upcoming weeks.
