We had a choice

There were a few people in my class that already learned many of the color techniques being taught. Bart, Paulette, Sharon, and myself all went to the professor and proposed different ideas for more alternative activities for learning the different aspects of color. After she read over our ideas the four of us voted one what we wanted to do most. Sharon's idea of painting everyone in the three different color schemes won the vote. The first area our group decided on was to use the color red for the three different areas. Once our group sat and divided who would do what we decided on the materials we would need to acquire for our activity. Bart was assigned analogous colors of red, I was assigned
monochromatic colors of red, and Sharon and Paulette were assigned complementary colors of red. We painted Bart first and because analogous do not have to be painted in in sort of order we decided to paint Bart with random shapes and in random places over his upper body. Sharon and Paulette were painted next and each one of them had one half of the scale on their arms. One of the creative parts of complementary painting was that when Sharon and Paulette put their fists together the scale flows from arm to arm. Sharon and Paulette planned out a pattern on my back. The basic shapes of my ribs and spine were painted in monochromatic colors of red. Bart and I documented all of the painting and final product by taking pictures and Sharon and Paulette wrote a statement about our activity. All four of us we painted by the end of class presented ourselves to our professor. After that we presented our activity to the class. Bart, Sharon, Paulette, and I all enjoyed working together on this project. Each one of us was painted and each took part in painting. The four of us worked well together in creating an interesting spin on the traditional color schemes.
