Itten's Colour Theory



my colour mixing-sheet.

This is 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.)

Paper Money

Money.
A few weeks ago we got a assinment for making your own money on a piece of paper.

this is what mine looked like:

we had to put in alot of patterns. I think I did that very well! First we had to draw it with a pencil. After that we needed to use ink and a pen! My first paper was ruined.(I put to much ink on it.)But this one is ok. And next time I'll be more carfull!

This is my graffiti piece.
I think my mark for it was oké. I had a seven!
I like the way I coloured it the is harldy any white in it.
But I think it doesn't really look like graffiti.
There still are a few things I would change if I could do it agian.

Piece of Art

PIECE OF ART

Hello! The assignment I got for this week was:
Find a nice piece of art in your neighbourhood!
I found something reallycolourful and funny, a kind of statue made of paper maché.
It’s a woman standing on one leg with her hands in the air.
It makes you feel happy if you look at it! It is made by Nicki de Saint Phalle.But she is dead now. She’s quite famous! She has more statues in Israel, Zurich and a lot in Chur!
It’s in a building in town, the studio of Wilde Zeeuw a communication agency.
I already saw it before, and i liked it alot :)
