Political Issue

My political issue that I chose to do for my poster was about the negative effect drug use can have on a family's relationship. I think that people who do drugs don't realize just how much it affects their family because they are so caught up in how the drugs make them feel they don't realize to think about any of the other side effects. It not only becomes a toll on the person using drugs, but also on the family that loves and cares about this person. I think that I did this poster because if people who do drugs realize how much it hurts everyone else they would think twice about using drugs. I really did enjoy this project and think that it made me think more about color and how it affects and triggers different feelings.

GOOD Transparency: Water Conservation

water conservation

For my issue I chose to humorously highlight the issue of water conservation. I used a recognizably dirty figure and suggested that not showering is a good thing to do in order to save water; although this is not likely something the average person would actually do. There are far less smelly extremes that one could go to in order to minimize their personal water usage. A neat video online I found that shows this is above. What I really liked about this was that it focuses on how simple daily choices have a large impact overall in water conservation efforts. This was kind of the goal of my poster, to hopefully have someone realize that although they might not stop showering to save water, it is still an important issue that they have the ability to help out with. All the little choices we make throughout each day can help to save water which is an important environmental and social issue, due to the indispensable role water plays for all living things.

The Big Buisness Devil

For my poster i wanted to convey the, what I feel to be, the absurd amount of greed that comes with big buisness. The monopoly man is an inconographic image, and that is why used him as the focal point of my piece. I think that the messsage came accros clearly, and that people were intriged by my design. When I was installing my pieces people we staring at me, and looking at my posters. However no one asked me what they were about. So I am assuming that the message came across. Over all i think the instalment went well, along with my piece. The opposites of the red and green really caught peoples' attentions.

Wasting Paint?

My poster is just about wasting our daily resources, and not valuing what we have. So much of what Americans throw away as waste, could have been recycled. The statistics are only about one-tenth of all solid garbage in the United States gets recycled. Another shocking one is Americans throw away about 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour. Meanwhile, deforestization is taking over the rainforest and americans always want the newest product out to replace last season. I just think people can be very wastful, and I wanted to try and reflect that with my posted.

Let us breathe

Have you ever gone camping and breathed in a breath of clean air? It's so crispy and easy to breath. Now have you ever stood next to a smoker and inhaled the fumes? Not as satisfying, right. I just went to a web site where I read about the "Brown Cloud" (http://phoenix.about.com/od/weather/a/browncloud.htm). The Brown Cloud is where it gets extremely polluted in Phoenix. I also found out that about 79% of the residents of Phoenix are at risk for contracting some breathing complications. That's over 2.6 million people. We need to change this. My brother in particular has asthma and I know there are certain times when he's feeling worse due to the amount of pollution outside. Breathing isn't an option, we all have to do it. So, why don't we make it better for ourselves so that we don't have to go hiking in the woods to enjoy that crispy breath of fresh air.

Education

I have always been taught that education is paramount. As I have grow up I have recognized the validity of this statement through personal experience. However I do believe the U.S. Government cares about education, I don't believe we share the same emphasis. I struggle to understand why weapons are made when teachers go underpaid and schools underfunded. Which is why it baffles me that the U.S. Government spends 683.7 billion USD on National Security, and only 46.8 billion on education. (enacted 2010) Below is a link to the table where I found my statistics, you can find it on page 30 of 'summary tables'

Understanding: that is all I ask!

With my poster design I decided to tackle the issues dealing with the Muslim and Christian worlds. I feel that many biases and much hatred could be resolved, peacefully, with understanding. I think if both parties would realize that we are all just trying to be good people tolerance would increase. I posted my picture near a Mosque, a church not of my faith, my church, by the library (where there is usually a lot of religious bickering), and on a stairwell. I know that we can get to this place of understanding, but it will be a climb. You can do some reading here!

Uninspiring Places

I had way too much fun finding places for this poster. It started out being a huge chore after I got off of work at 5 pm today, Monday, before it is due tomorrow, Tuesday. Now this may sound like procrastination, but in fact, I had to cover for my boss all weekend at work. Anyway. The only copier I knew of on campus WASN'T letting people copy anymore, SO IF IT WAS BECAUSE OF EVERYONE ELSE IN HERE, THANK YOU! I wouldn't have had as much fun if I could have installed it correctly. So, for my "installations," which was just me bringing my finished crescent board to random places, I had very good reasons for each of my photographs. I brought it to places that I didn't like, for very good reasons in my own mind, and that worked better in the end. I was originally going to post the posters just on boards and lightposts and things like that, places that get heavy traffic but not necessarily any specific area. Instead, I had the mean homeless man hold the board, and I conned the Starbuck's Kids into smiling for my malicious photograph, and I photographed it outside of AlphaGraphics, because they refused to copy it for me because I hadn't had time to spray it with fixatif. And that makes more sense anyways, because all of those things to me were very uninspiring, so they added a sense of irony and a message of small change to my seemingly silly poster. As annoying as the installation part of it started out being, it really made my night.

Child Abuse

My issue that I choose was child abuse. I knew I didn't want to use children that were hurt in my pictures, but wasn't sure how to portray child abuse and neglect in another way. I decided to go with everyday pictures because that is the majority of the kids that are abused or neglected, everyday ordinary kids. You might not know from the surface that a child is being abused. While i came across some shocking statistics I wanted to bring it down to a common fact that one might not think about when they are abusing their children and that is the future of the child. While I have a hard time understanding how anyone can hurt a child, especially after having a child of my own, it is an issue that is happening all across america. I have an hard time watching and looking at the ads that show beat up kids and the facts are often lost because I simply don't want to look at the pictures. I wanted to use some color so I choose the red for the title on the top because of its emotional effect. I also stuck with the bleached out colors because I wanted it to sort of have that real feel and not something that is too bold. The children are being placed second when they are abused so it kind of gives them a drifted off look. I had a hard time with the colors on this project because when too much color was added into the background it took away from the pics but then it got an overall faded look. I wanted the cement look though and since it was about being in prison and abused it needed an more sober look to it. I do think that my poster portrays what I am trying to say, since there is so many aspects to child abuse I feel there is so much that could be done and one poster just doesnt portray everything but its a start!

What's Hurting California

For my poster I brought forth the issue of politics hurting California right now. From my stand point, The legislation of California are taking away effortlessly from those in need. For example, money is being taken out from public school systems, and also from the teachers that our educating our youth. There has even been discussion of taking away welfare in the state of California, or lowering the amount of welfare given. I feel that that taking away from Californians is not the correct thing to do, but instead working on a way to settle this debt without taking away from those who need it.

Limitless Display of Music on MTV

When I hear about kids watching MTV, I literally see them watching TV and their brain cells are turning to mush. The phrase "TV rots your brain" comes to a whole new meaning with this garbage. Honestly, I'm really tired of always hearing about the stupid new jokes that kids and teenagers watch on MTV. The stuff they broadcast on there is so provocative and annoying. Is this generation really attracted to watching girls fight and complain about how one girl slept with the other girl's ex-boyfriend but really he just got the other girl pregnant the night before? Really? Or how about watching people go to the club every night and just get "totally smashed!" Well there's also the fact of judging people by their weight and calling them "grenades" or the best friend that brings this girl along and calling her a "grenade launcher." I'm completely appalled by this display of rude, vulgar activity. And to top things off, the company that produces these circus-like shows is called Music Television. Unless you decide you want to wake up for a couple hours around four or five in the morning, MTV will not be showing any music. My personal favorite way of keeping the music gig going is the fifteen second display of a music video in between shows. All I have to say to MTV is if your goal was to degrade the lives of children and teenagers who will soon be adults and have them be knocked up, in debt, alcohols, drug addicts, and general sluts and assholes, congratulations! You have succeeded. Anyways, hopefully this art project will be the start of many and people will start to get the message,"Where's the music?"

Super Size Me opening

My Burger Poster

During unit 4 we have been learning about emotional/symbolic color and how color affects how people feel. For my project I decided to create a poster that had to the do with the rapid rate of obesity in America. Not only are adults becoming obese but young children around the country are as well. People in America don't realize what exactly is being put in their food at different fast food restaurants but seem to not care because it taste good, right? My poster presents a giant burger stacked with tasty foods as well as stuff that is not edible. I'm just trying to say people will eat anything that a major fast food business has to offer, but are oblivious to what is actually hidden in the food that is being served. I just want to show an awareness! The reason I picked this issue was because of watching the movie "Super Size Me", it changed how I look at fast food now. Check out this short clip!

TED video

A really interesting aspect of the talk was the perception of color related to evolution. I attempted to look up some more info on it and found the Munsell Color Science laboratory page 'Ask a Color Scientist' which answered a couple questions, why do we have color vision? what environmental factors encouraged the survival of individuals with color vision? Also this website they had a link to was interesting.

One of the answers that was interesting was that evolutionary advantages of sensing changes in illumination (that came along with the development of cones sensitive to a variety of wavelengths) was to better respond to changes in weather and time of day. Perception of red-green differences was advantageous to improving the ability to find ripe food, which usually varies in color from surrounding vegetation.

None of that really answers the question Miranda and Mario were asking, but I was wondering that too. It is just interesting to see the evolutionary aspect and maybe this info can be related to why color change based on background would be associated with our evolutionary perception of the world. Taking what Lotto said, that the association and what we do behaviorally with information we receive (retinal information or otherwise) is what is really important, then background affects color perception because the distinctions between vegetation and differently colored predators or food was behaviorally advantageous. I guess even though this makes sense to me it doesn't explain why similar colors will display differently depending on the background or why that is.

Color Video

The Beau Lotto Color Optical Illusions video was definitely a lot more interesting than I expected it to be since I didn't know that there was a lot of shocking things that could be done with different color schemes and how colors were arranged. I really liked how he took the same color and just changed the background lighting and it changed the top color right away. One of the most amazing things that I felt was portrayed in this video was how color was able to be translated into sound. What even amazed me more was that a visually impaired person was able to understand what color was being heard from the sound. Another thing I really liked that Beau Lotto said was that uncertainty was equal to understanding. This statement is very open ended but what I got from it in comparison to color is that there are a million different ways to put colors together, but once you do then you can understand the different ways they work and don't work.

Wow

This video really hit the spot for me. i love the idea of that what the mind percieves is not always completely right. This is just proof of that. The illusions they did were amazing and incredibly interesting to me. Its just amazing that what you see can be altered. It really proves that not everything we see is the truth. The body is an amazing thing but to me its even more amazing that the entire life we live is subjective to ourselves.

Color Video

I am a big fan of optical illusions. the video that we watched during class was very intriguing into the world of optical illusions and how are minds perceive color and how these perceptions can easily altered or changed. Even though its hard to accept the optical illusions from tangible reality, its kind of fun to allow your vision to be altered and to see your visual through alternative lights and experience color in new ways. I'm excited to further independently study optical illusions with color and have more usage of them throughout my work

Ted Talks

This video was very interesting in some of the optical illusions. I also agree with Emery, the red and green coloring that switched was awesome. it was also interesting how if you put the color on different backgrounds, black or white, it looks like a totally different color. I have to say though I am with Taylor, if we are just perceiving colors as certain colors what color is the object for real? Or is there no color in the world?? I agree that there is something in color that our eye perceives otherwise there would be no genetic conditions such as color blindness. But it is just a difficult concept for me to grasp because if it is just in our eye then color isn't real it is just a perception, right?! It was very interesting though to see his different points in seeing color and little tricks our eyes play on us. Definitely a bit mins boggling though!

Ted Talks

I had the same question as Mario after watching the video. Why would color change based on background be associated with the evolution of our world and reality? That doesn't really make any sense to me, so I kind of feel like that is just a theory to think about. I had to come home and watch the video again because I felt like he was tricking us on some of the illusions, but I couldn't find any trickery, so now I just think it is odd that our brains retain color information and impose it on other objects. What in the information, besides the fact that it is light, makes it stay in our vision, like with the green and red desert scenes. Optical illusions are fun, but my brain gets tired of them quickly.

Ted Talk Video

I am wondering the same thing as you Taylor, it does seem a little confusing of what our eyes are perceiving. In the video the speaker did mention something about the light that falls off our eyes being meaningless and in a since the presentations he gave showed that. For me, the thing that stood out the most in his video was when he asked the audience to stare at a image that had two colors at the top(being red and green) with a white circle in between those two colors. While staring at this white circle the bottom image that depicted a mountain seemed to shift in colors, it was amazing! I feel that what we perceive as color is something that is and will continue to be studied for some time.

Ted the Talker

I thought that the video we watched in class this week was super helpful in trying to understand how our eyes perceive color. Emery, I totally agree with you on which part in the video was the most interesting! Seeing the difference between the green and red planes was really cool! I also like how in the video he showed us that even though by placing two different backgrounds such as black or white behind a color doesn't actually change the color, it just makes our eyes perceive that it does. I find optical allusions to be one of the most interesting things in the world! This video relates to what we have been talking about as well as doing in class, such as the color experiments we did earlier this semester. But I am still wondering if what our eye perceive as color is from what is being reflected off an object, then what color is the actually object?

Color Illusions Video

The video in class was pretty cool. The guy is speaking a little fast so it is some what difficult to keep up with what he is saying. I thought the most interesting thing was definitely when you looked at the white dot in between the red plane and the green plane and then looked down at the desert pictures. The pictures are automatically seen with a shade of red and the other is with a shade of green. It's INSANE! I think it is kind of funny how our eyes get tricked like that. There could be hundreds of times that are our eyes are being tricked and we do not even realize it is happening unless it's presented to us. The whole sound thing is still a little confusing. I understand how the sound is played according to the color but I guess, in my own opinion, I don't think the sound matches too well. Everything else was understandable and fun to learn.

TED Talk: Optical Illusions

I thought it was interesting that how we see can be based so greatly off of the context of the background or environment. Lotto also brought up an interesting point that the way we do see has been based off millions of years of evolution. SO what makes us see different colors when they're against a black background opposed to a white background and what purpose has it served in the past for it to affect our vision today?

Mixing, Painting, and Shading

Now to be honest, when our class begin to discuss color theory and the difference between additive and subtractive color theory, I found myself looking back towards my child hood to answer a few of the questions. One of the questions that struck me was "what are the primary and secondary colors"? I admidiately thought to myself that it was red, blue, and yellow followed by green orange, and purple. One thing for sure is that I assumed wrong. Something that helped me get a better understanding of this theory was when our class used the lights with a color lid while flashing the primaries on the wall to create a color mixture. Then when it came down to mixing the primaries to make other colors such as black I had a hard time. It took me the whole class period just to get somewhat close to achieveing this, but it wasn't actually until the second day where I completely got it. Mixing the primaries to create secondary and tertiary colors also helped me to better understand the additive color theory. However, when it came down to tinting colors it was a bit of a challenge for me because I was making the tints too dark. Overall I feel that my progress in mixing color and tinting and shading was a success because I got eventually got better at it then I was before.

I couldn't believe how complicated it was to make black the first couple of times and should of thank twice on how much i used it through out piece (note to self use black way less). But overall i enjoyed the idea of this unit, especially with the understanding of subtractive and additive color and taking the color wheel and interpreting it through alternative systems or visual. i think the most interesting thing Ive taken from this unit would be additive color, the comprehension of light has furthered my thoughts on future projects and piece and how i can incorporate them much more.

Dear Black Paint, You Suck.

I never thought mixing paint would actually be a task, but it definitely proved me otherwise. Getting the correct shades and tints in the yellows was quite possibly the most frustrating exercise i've had to do this year so far -Maybe it's because making black paint feels like the most painstaking obstacle ever. I never really appreciated the color or each hue on a painting until now. Even though it took me so long to achieve, I am so happy i learned how to correctly mix paint. It has given me such a new appreciation for art.

Color Mixing

Subtractive color is probably the most difficult area I'm facing right now. I never work with paint and found it really time consuming to get the colors right. This past assignment I made a pin wheel and you can still see the areas I have trouble with in my work. The shading is not done too well and some secondary colors are too dark. This assignment was a total learning experience. I know that I'm not the only one who had some trouble so that's reassuring. I'm more confident with using colors for future assignments because of the color wheel I've created.

Meant to do this yesterday

In my marathon pencil cutting/eraser painting I forgot to make my blog post yesterday. Out of the in class exercises and mixing pigments for the color system project I have to say I was surprised by the darkness of the colors as they mixed and how much they changed as they dried. I was also a little surprised how well we were able to make black from the three primaries, I remember in high school (my one visual arts class before changing my major and joining herberger) no matter the combination we mixed we always wound up with a hideous brown.

Color color everywhere

From the in class experiments I learned that mixing color light(additive color theory) works differently from mixing paints (subtractive color theory). The reason behind the colors mixing differently is because with pigment white light hits the color and all the colors in the white light are absorbed except for the color you see which is bouncing off the object back into your eyes. While in color light, the light is only producing that color light and when turned off you get black. I used one of the in class experiments at home, I took a drop of water and placed it on my computer screen where it was white. From there i could see the three primary colors for the additive color theory; blue, green, and red.

Learning About Colors

I had never known that there were so much science that goes into the creating of colors and I found this unit to be very interesting. I had always known that red and blue makes purple or that yellow and blue makes green, but I did not know that that was only when one was subtracting color. I can honestly say I never knew much about additive color process other than it was when light hit the colors. I now know that when light hits the colors, it absorbs all the other colors and reflects the color that you see clearly back at you, therefore making you see only that one color. To think about it this way is very complex and it is something that I find very interesting. Also, another thing that I found out when doing this unit is that actually making black from the primary colors is a lot more difficult than it seems. I had never struggled with, or so I thought I never did, making black when I was younger, but making an actual hue of black with the primary colors was extremely difficult and frustrating. I now know how much of each primary I need in order to get black or close to it.

What is old is new again

The excercises we did in class acted more as a refresher course for me. I have studied the additive theory in physics classes and subtractive theory in art classes in the past. Although these theories are fundamentals for any artist working in any field I think it is easy to forget the basics! I didn't expect to learn about the human eye though, that was cool. :D

A color conundrum!

From the additive color theory experiments, I learned that although cyan, magenta, and yellow are secondaries in the additive system; they can also be used subtractively in screen printing. I found it interesting that the CMY triad can be used with either theory. I also gained a lot more respect for the lighting specialists involved in theater and stage productions. Since light is energy, it must be incredibly difficult to get the power supplies on the lights to stay at a constant level (remember when the batteries in one flashlight were low?) which needs to be relative to the other lights.

During the subtractive color theory experiments, I learned that certain hues may not form usable secondary and tertiary colors. I had never thought about the conflict between the green in a blue and a red when I'm trying to make a purple.

My only real question is from the reading. The book stated that warm and cool divisions can be entirely subjective and personal, which lead me to start thinking about perception and the way we perceive color (in our brains not in our eyes). Do we organize the colors we see instinctively or because we have all been exposed to color wheels, rainbows, and the ROY G BIV acronym?

Color Theory

I thought it was very interesting to learn about the additive, subtractive and CYK printmaking theories. I did not realize that there was more than the subtractive color theory. I now understand more about the light or additive theory and how the RGB works and TVs and computer screens. The marketing of televisions was really confusing to be before and now it makes a lot more sense how the colors are made from the lights. I thought it really helped to do the props that you brought in as well. While it isn't too confusing once you understand it, the idea of light and how it is almost opposite of how the pigment theory is, was foreign to me at first. The different lights while not working perfect made the theory clearer as to how it works. It is also really interesting to me as to how we see light. How the colors are absorbed and then reflected; it is weird to think that color is in our eyes and not really "real" maybe?!!?

Additive and Subtractive Color

What we have learned about additive and subtractive color theories in class has added to my knowledge but also has connected things I already knew. The subtractive color mixing is so familiar. Red, yellow, and blue are what I think of when I hear primary colors, but it is interesting to think of primaries as red, green, and blue in additive color mixing. I recognize using red, green, and blue from photo editing software and cyan, magenta, and yellow from printer cartridge ink and. What I find really interesting is that using the colors of the additive system might be a better mixing system for mixing paint, but we use the subtractive method because it is the traditional system for mixing paint. In light of the fact that our eye sees color through red, green, and blue detectors it seems logical that we should reproduce certain colors by mixing paint using red, green, and blue as primaries. If we use the system our eyes use to perceive color wouldn't our resulting mixes be more accurate?

color theories

From the additive color experiments we did in class I was able to understand more fully the idea of how different colored light from the electromagnetic spectrum creates color, from science classes I had learned this concept but did not fully grasp its relationships to art. Learning the primaries and secondaries of this theory (through the experiments with the spotlights) and how those relate to process printing and digital art forms was also very interesting. One thing I wondered about this was why the subtractive process primaries (cyan, yellow, magenta) are used in photography and computer printing and the traditional subtractive primaries (r,y,b) are used for paints, inks, and dyes. What is it about these primaries that allows them to mix to make the many perceptible colors better than one another in the different types of media? Is it simply that the process primaries are used with media that has its basis in digital systems (I guess this is confusing to me since they will still be printed using inks, and wouldn't it make sense that they could use the subtractive primaries then, when no longer in a digital form)?

The in class exercises with subtractive color (pigment) theory definitely made me realize how difficult mixing paint is, since I have never done it before. I thought it was very interesting that different sets of primaries can result in more 'clear' secondaries sometimes but more dull ones other times. This made me think of Miranda's question about her black turning yellow greenish when shading it, maybe different sets of primaries can affect the way that a black produced with them will mix with other colors later on. I was also wondering if the power points were posted anywhere? I had a question about something on one of the slides but I can't quite remember it...

learning new things

I thought it was so cool to learn about all the different ways that someone can mix colors. i had no idea that the additive color theory even exsisted. it was great to use the lights ith the covers on them to see how it really works. the youtube video we watch with the cymk printing was a total trip as well. i wonder who came up with that idea, it would deffinatly be something that i woud like to persue further. maybe not in this class but in the future. does any one in the class do print making? if so let me know i would really like to learn.

Color Perception

I am still amazed that color can so easily differ from one individual to another. I have always understood that some people are color blind, and I understand that all of our bodies are different and come with slight nuances. However, my perception of vision has always been one thing I have trusted whole heartily. Vision is by far one of our most relied on senses, but what if you were to wake up one day with one of the vision defects below? How would that change your world? Could it change your personality?

I have experienced a few art classes, but none of them have ever touched on the topic of the additive color theory. I have even made color wheels before, but until this lesson I was just mixing pigments hoping for the right color. From childhood science classes I somewhere understood that if light passed through a prism, it would make a pretty little rainbow. Having both the theories, subtractive and additive, explained in depth to me just makes color more powerful. I am kinda stuck on the idea of possibly how much better it would be to be color weak, and have a different perception of color while making artwork.

Learning About Additive and Subtractive Color

As we did the in-class exercises on additive and subtractive theory I learned a lot more about additive theory than subtractive. I never knew that additive was the light theory involving color. To me, I always though that the primary colors were the same for everything, by using red, yellow, and blue; I guess I was wrong. I learned that in additive(light) theory the primaries are cyan, yellow, and magenta. On the other hand I knew much more about the subtractive(pigment) theory and was very amused with all the exercises we did with subtractive color. Overall, I enjoyed the exercise on both theories and learned the most about additive color.

I understand everything perfect now so I don't seem to have any questions!

Extraordinary Human Abilities!

This entire article is quite interesting, but take special note of the section on Tetrachromacy. Recall our conversation about the color receptors in the human eye (cones and rods). The typical human eye has three types of cones, RGB, which percieve hue. And the rods aid the eye in perceiving tint and shade.

Experimenting with Color

I have been told about the additive color turning to white since my high school painting class, and again in my 2-D design class, and again in my 3-D design class, but none of my instructors have ever brought in light and said, "this is how it works." Although the information has been put in front of me before, it was nice to see the actual process first hand. As for the subtractive color experiment, I have seen that happen every time I clean a paintbrush in a bucket of water. I have never made black from the primaries before though, and as aggravating a process as it is in small amounts of color, when I put it together in a jar, it was easy. I like the way it shades the colors more than using that Mars black out of the tube. I know they are supposed to technically be the same thing, but it seems like the combination black in the jar I have now makes a nicer color for shading... except my yellow keeps turning green. But not just a "yucky yellow" green, more like an "oops my black is too blue" green. I guess I am asking if that's ok?

Additive/ Subtractive Experiments

Through the in-class experiments, it was an easier way to memorize how the color changing process works. As artists, we are more visual learners than other forms of learning so the experiments really help. With the additive experiments, it was really interesting to see green and red make a yellow when most of us are use to red and orange making green. The subtractive theory was more common to me and I greatly understand the process of mixing colors. Although, I've never made black with all three primaries; I've only made shades of brown. I'm still slightly confused on how the whole bubble part of the experiments work. I sort of understand how its like Newton's experiment with the glass prism, but not how the bubble changed colors from cyan to yellow. Also we never really finished the conversation on how printer's primary colors are cyan, yellow, magenta, and black, so I'm still questioning the process of how that works.

Additive/Subtractive Color

Hello, students of Color. Please make a post that relates to your experience with the in class exercises for this unit. Things to think about:

What did you learn from the Additive Color (Light) Theory experiments? What about the in class exercises with Subtractive Color (Pigment) Theory? What questions do you still have?
