- Design an additional 9x12 composition based on color relationship theories. Select a theme/subject matter. Refer to either nature images, close ups or abstractions of creative still lives using paints. all solid color and color blocking to show lights (highlights, midtones, shadows) in the color wheel. just work in the color relations. Must ID the relations. Interpret and create. Cropping, deconstructing details in nature or still life... be creative in your solutions.
