  1. Art in the classroom Properties of Color

  2. Hueis the term for the pure spectrum colors which appear in a rainbow or the Primary Color Wheel. Hues are commonly referred to by the "color names” – yellow, orange, red, violet (or purple), blue, and green. The Primary Color Wheel is made up of twelve colors which progress around the wheel in gradual increments.

  3. Primary Color Wheel Primary Colors (A): Yellow, Blue and Red These three Primary Colors are blended together to produce other colors called Secondary Colors (B): • Yellow + Red = Orange • Red + Blue = Violet (or Purple) • Blue + Yellow = Green When you combine a Primary Color with a Secondary Color, you produce a Tertiary Color(C). Some of these include: • Red + Orange = Red Orange • Yellow + Green = Yellow Green • Red + Violet (Purple) = Red Violet A C C B B C C A A C C B

  4. Color Valuerefers to the lightness or darkness of the hue.

  5. ATint is a mixing result of a pure color to which white has been added. A tint is lighter than the original color. It’s sometimes called “pastel.”

  6. A Shade is a mixing result of a pure color to which black has been added. A shade is darker than the original color.

  7. Camouflage in Nature Abbott Handerson Thayer (1849 – 1921) was an American artist and naturalist. As a painter, Thayer focused much of his energy on portraits and landscapes. However, when not working on his art, Thayer devoted his time to studying what he called “protective coloration” in nature. It was Thayer’s belief that animal markings, like zebra stripes and leopard spots, were more than just decorative markings. Instead, by making animals harder to see, these markings helped them hide from predators or stalk their prey.

  10. Camouflage in the Military The French were the first to establish an official camouflage unit in 1915. The first form of camouflage was a military uniform. In 1898, Thayer first proposed using camouflage patterns to protect ships. However, it was not until 17 years later (World War I) that the use of ship camouflage was approved for American ships.

  11. Camouflage Samples Camouflage is now seen as a strategic tool used to blend soldiers with their surroundings and confuse the enemy.
