Kia Ora Guys, for the past week my class has been learning about colour theories and figuring out what monochromatic and analogous means.
This is a colour theory wheel:

This wheel has both analogous and monochromatic colors here is why:
Monochromatic colors are derived from a single base color and extended using its shades, tones and tints. Tints are achieved by adding white and shades and tones are achieved by adding a darker color, grey or black.
Here is a monochromatic painting:

Analogous colors are groups of three colors that are next to each other on the color wheel, and a tertiary. Red, orange, and red-orange are all examples.
Here:

And now here are some of my examples:

now here is my basic color wheel:

This color wheel consists of red, blue, yellow, green, purple and orange.
Red,blue,yellow are primary colors.
and orange green and purple are secondary colors.
These were some of the questions my teacher wanted me to answer:

here were my answers:
What are the three primary colors: Red,Blue,Yellow
What are secondary colors: Green,Orange,Purple,Brown
Why are they called secondary colors: A secondary color is a color resulting from mixing two primary colors.
Why do you think the three arrows next to analogous colours point to that range of colours? (I was a bit confused about this one)
Does it give you a clue about what the term might mean? Take a guess and write it down.(and on this one)
analogous colours are groups of three colors next to each other in the color wheel for example Red,orange and yellow.
what I found exciting was making the color wheel.
What I found quite hard was adding all the information in a blog post It takes a very long time.
but overall it was a nice challenge.
Bye guys:-)
