Analogous Colors
Analogous Colors are colors that sit next to one another on the color wheel. They have a common hue and lend themselves to be used in a color scheme. An example of an analogous color scheme is "The Last Mountain", by Shepard Fairey. In this artwork, Fairey has used the analogous colors yellow, yellow-orange, orange and red-orange and a bold, black silhouetted landscape, to make an impactful visual statement.
The Assignment:
Choose a subject matter that means something to you and illustrate it with a graphic, black silhouette. An example could be a tree to represent environmental awareness. After selecting your subject, choose an analogous color scheme of three to five colors (from the tempera paints in class) to complete your painting.
