Homework 1:
1. Reshade/refine your masks design from the last weekend homework. And see if you have used some color schemes that we learned today.
Requirements:
a. Shade/color with color pencil very thick and even. Make sure you can not see the white paper anywhere within your mask border box, except the white areas that you leave on purpose.

b. See on textbook page 87 those little circles under the drawings, and please indicate the color scheme that you used in mask design. One scheme for one mask, and if you used more than four colors, just indicate from the dominant three or four colors. DO NOT draw the circles with free-hand, it will not look good. Write the names of the color scheme beside the circles using HB pencil.
Homework 2
Create a color theory graph in Adobe Illustrator like the example below. (You can use computer lab. It's gonna take about 1.5 to 2 hours. So manage you time.)
Requirements:
a. Watch these tutorial videos first to before you get started.
b. Do not be afraid of exploring a new computer program. If you have any question, try to google it and find out the anwser by yourself. For example, what is "live trace". And notice that the videos were made in Mac, so you should notice the different on PC.
c. Set the new file on 8.5x11 paper size. When you are done, print it out and bring to class.
d. This is the color wheel that you may need to use.
Homework 4:
In the next class, we will do more practice about color scheme and detailed drawing (micro study). Here's an example.
Please see more examples on textbook page 78, 84 and 85. We will use monochromatic, complementary, analogous, cool/warm color, triadic and rectangular color harmonies to draw small scale objects. So get an object ready, fruit, vegetable, daily life stuff, and bring it to class.
