my colour mixing-sheet. |
I liked the colour mixing because it was hard making the colours just the way you want them. I got a 7 for this painting.
It looks really nice with all the colours next to each other. Next time I have to work a bit neater for a better mark.

We learned about the theory of Itten in the lessons we were working on this. The colour theory of Itten says that their are 3 primary colours; blue, yellow and red. These make al the other colours that there are. For example; Green is made up out of blue and yellow. Green is one of the secondary colours, the others are orange and purple. The other colours are all tertiary colours.
Johannes Itten. |
This is a picture of what mr. Itten looked like.
His full name is Johannes Itten. He was a Swiss artist, teacher and designer. He became 79 years old. He was born Südern-Linden on the 11 of November in 1888 and died in 1888. Mr. Itten worked at a school in Berlin called Bauhaus for 3 years(1919-1922), but then he stopped working there after a fight with his boss. Shortly after that he published a book about his colour theory, and that's how we know about the colour theory of Itten. The people in Berlin thought his theory was great and even called a school the Johannes Ittenschule! (1925.)
