Power of persuasion

• Your voice

Think of an injustice or cause

• Your own life, at school, in the community, you have heard of or read about

Make art!

• Then create a piece of art that will persuade others that something must be done to stop this injustice.

• How can you use iconography and symbols of the 20th century to persuade people about something you believe?

• What message can you convey? Do you need words?

Propaganda uses color schemes

• Color schemes are groups of certain colors that look good when grouped together. When you are trying to capture someone’s attention it is a good idea to use a color scheme.

PrimaryColors

• PRIMARY means “first”. These colors are the ones that must come first before any other colors from the color wheel can be created. • Primary colors cannot be mixed to be created by any other colors.

SecondaryColors

A primary color+ a primary color= a Secondary color

Tertiary (or intermediate

)Colors

A primary Color+ and Secondary Color= a Tertiary (or intermediate) Color

NeutralsColors that are not found on the color wheel such as white, black, gray, brown

Warm Colors

Cool Colors

Temperature

• MonochromaticMono = one, single,. . . as in monorailChroma = colorthus monochromatic = One color.

• One color plus tints and shades.

Analogous

• Colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. Colors with a family resemblance.

• Analogous colors will have some of the same primary color; ex. yellow, yellow-orange, and orange, or blue, blue-green, and green etc.

• Analogous will always mix well.

Complementary

• Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel; ex. red and green, violet and yellow, yellow-green and red-violet etc.

• If mixed together in near equal amounts, complements make a neutral color.

• If a little of a hue’s complement is mixed in with it, the result will be a dulling or neutralizing of that hues intensity.

Triadic:

• 3 colors that are equally spaced. The most famous of these is the primary triad . . . red, yellow, and blue.

• Triadic harmonies are most effective if only one color is allowed to dominate.
