Sketchbook Assignment #3

Good/Bad Color Compositions

• Due March 1 when you turn in your sketchbook for midterm grading.
• Design a composition that utilizes a five-color palette, with one dominant color.
• Using gouache, produce two versions of this design in your sketchbook, each on a different page.
• In each composition, the design will remain identical, but you will use different colors.
• One which uses five colors chosen from your "Good" colors
• One which uses five colors chosen from your "Bad" colors
• This composition may be representational, done from observation of life or a photograph, abstract, or nonrepresentational.
• If you work from observation, you are allowed to incorporate tints and shades of your colors.
• If you work in an abstract or nonrepresentational manner, use only the five colors unaltered.
• Remember that one of the five colors should be dominant.
