In this assignment, the student is required to replicate a design a composition four times and demonstrate the use of cool, warm, 2/3 warm to cool, and 2/3 cool to warm. The second half is to use opposite colors in order to create grays.
Exercise 3: Tint, Tone, Shade
In this exercise, using the color tree theory, we test the tint, tone, and shade of two colors. Yellow and blue are the two colors used to test this theory.
Color Test and Theory
An easy way to remember ‘ROYHBIV’ is to think of Roy G. Biv. However, a way to remember this concept is to think of React Or You Have Bad Illustrative Vision. This pertains to the artists requirement to interpret or react in the presence of color, or else they’d end up interpreting what they see incorrectly.
In the topic of color blindness, a few other celebrities are color considered colorblind. Brennan Mejia and Neil Harbisson.
Logically, a person who is colorblind is prohibited from piloting due to the fact that they’ll be seeing flashing lights of distinct colors such as red and green. Much like what you’d see on a Boeing or on a private jet.
Also in the topic of color blindness, I’ve decided to investigate my own vision and make sure that there are no abnormalities when perceiving color.
My first test was on https://enchroma.com where I ended up taking two tests which both ended up to be normal color vision
The second attempt ended up with the same result.
My third color test was on https://www.xrite.com where I took a color hue test, which resulted in perfect chromatic vision or no abnormalities in the way I perceive color.
Color Scales
The following is the color scale for yellow, orange, carmine , red, and blue. These colors are ranging from darker to lighter (tone and tint), while showing the percentages for these values.

Principles of Form
Below illustrates the twelve principles of design which include but are not limited to size, shape, value, transparency, direction, line weight, rhythm/movement, unity, asymmetrical balance, symmetrical balance, radial balance, and biaxial symmetry.
Exercise #1: 2D Design Elements & Key Colors
In this exercise, the student is required to compose a design that focuses on the 2D design elements as well as using the acrylic gouache in order to create low, mid and high color keys.
The nine design elements being dot, line, plane, volume, shape, space, texture, value, and color.
As for the high, mid, and low keys, we’ve created a range of values to demonstrate this.
These color keys were also demonstrated by replicating a design and using the acrylic to portray these range of keys.
Final Project: Lino Lago Finished Product
The final print product of the design.
The illustration portion done in oil pastel and in colored pencil. The goal was to obscure some portions and incorporate photography in other portions.
Final Project: Lino Lago (11/20/18)
In this project, the student is required to design a composition on 18×24 image that draws inspiration from a chosen artist. For my artist, Lino Lago, I’ve decided to depict a image that has a solid color with some parts of the original image below being shown. 
My notes on Lino Lago, which shows how he paints his art then play “peekaboo” with his art.
My original concept involves surrealism, but adds a bit of illustrative elements into the design. A bit contradictory of what Lago does, but I wanted to convey a sort of alignment or nod to his work.
In the design process, I wanted to depict flowers, which was meant to invoke freshness and familiarity. This symbol alongside the depiction of the living room is meant to speak within freshness of one’s home.
