DIGITAL COLOUR THEORY

DIGITAL COLOUR THEORY

This collection relates to the 2010 Ontario Curriculum Grade 9 Visual Arts documents in the following specific expectations:

A2.2 Students will apply elements and principles of design to create art works that communicate ideas and information. pg. 120

A3.1  Students will experiment with a variety of media/materials and traditional and/or emerging technologies, tools, and techniques, and apply them to produce art works (eg. experimenting with contemparty art-making methods and materials; incorporate found objects, digital images, and mixed media into their art work...)

pg. 121

B1.2 Students will identify, on the basis of examination, elements and principles of design used in various art works, and describe their effects (eg. ....the use of colour to contribue to mood, depth, and/or unity) pg. 122

This collection is based on colour theory and explores the use of non-conventional art materials to create an interesting piece.  Complimentary, monocromatic and analogous colour schemes were explored using found materials to create an intreging still life.  The use of a digital camera incorporates technology into the piece and the colour exploration is based on the elements and principles of design which is a focus in the Grade 9 Visual Arts curriculum documents.
