Using Color in Your Art

Finally, a book for children explains how to use color to express ideas and emotions in art. Thirty-six easy-to -follow projects explore the color wheel, warm and cool colors, complementary colors, color values, neutrals, and intermediate and analogous colors. Clear explanations of techniques are illustrated with student artwork, and quotes from famous artists explain how and why they used color in their work. Henry also suggests paintings to look at, questions to ponder, and additional ideas for projects.
