Our first assignment was a 3x3 square with 3 strips of color sheet within them. 2 different colors with a middle color that they would make. The next one was a + sign like color scheme with 2 different colors and it's neutral color in the middle, as if the colors rolled on top of each other. I found this one to be quite successful because you really could see the blue or the yellow rolled over and into the other color. The next one was a bit more complicated, as we had to match so many colors and put them into one layout. I chose some colors that I found interesting, with green being the middle man because it's my favorite color :)
The next assignment wasn't hard, but I believed it was the first step to achieve the assignment after that one. It was simply to pick three colors that would go well together, and find it's medium, all in triangular shapes. Now, the one after this one gave me the most trouble, as I picked too light of a color scheme to start out with that when it was reaching into the middle area, it was very difficult to pick out a color to go with its surrounding. I thought I would have had to start over but in the end I toughed it out and was able to finish it. The last assignment we had was to create the 4 seasons of the year, only able to use the colors we had in the previous assignment to do so, but without being too literal as well.
Overall, I enjoyed color week as it kind of gave us a break because it was what we did in both classes, instead of having two different assignments. And I deal with colors everyday when I wake up and decide what to wear that day. The colors have to match!
