COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Course Description: Conceptual Imagery is the mental representation of concepts in the
conscious mind. This class will take the thoughts and transform them through a mix medium
art with a street eclectic style. This will consist of a base canvas, different types of paint
mediums (spray paint and acrylics). We will walk through some creative exercises and then
get into a fun but informative project. Each week we will begin a new project and with new
exercises for the class. It’s all about the concept of the different elements and the imagination
that you have for art. Student will learn about proper color choices, balance of images and
space, and many more key aspects of art.

Normative Principles of Color/Light

Light
Energy, wavelengths, particles
Colors are different wavelengths of light.

Light Primaries- Additive Color Theory-RGB (red, green, blue)

Pigment Primaries – Subtractive Color Theory- RYB (red, yellow, blue)

Color
Colors are different wavelengths of light.

⋅ Hue
Hue refers to the wavelength of the color. Black, gray, and white are neutrals (without
color).
Hue is the name of a color.
⋅ Value
Value is the color’s lightness/darkness. Each color has a full range of values from the
lightest tints to the darkest shades.
⋅ Saturation
Saturation is the purity of a color’s hue. A color with pure saturation contains no white,
black, or third primary mixtures. Color wheel colors.

The Interaction of Color

Analogous, Complementary, Split Complementary, Monochromatic, Achromatic, Triad, and
Tetrad Harmonies (juxtaposition)
After Images – Simultaneous Contrast
