A Color Notation Part 13

16.

17-20. Review, combining two values and a single hue for design.[36]

_Aim._--To recognize a sequence combining three values and five middle hues. To name, match, imitate, and arrange them.

[Footnote 36: These ten lessons in this and succeeding grades are devoted to color perception only. Their application to design is a part of the general course in drawing, and will be so considered in the succeeding grades. Note that, although thus far nothing has been said about complementary hues, the child has been led to a.s.sociate them in opposite pairs by the color sphere. (See Chapter III., p. 76.)] [[Error for "paragraph 76"]]

_FOURTH GRADE LESSONS._

1. Review sequence of three values in each of the five middle hues.

2. To recognize, name, match, imitate, and 3. find them on sphere and in objects.

4. Show FIVE VALUES of RED. Find them on large color sphere.

5. Number them 1, 3, 5, 7, 9. Match, imitate, and write.

6. Show FIVE VALUES of BLUE-GREEN.

Treat as above and review.

7. Show FIVE VALUES of PURPLE-BLUE compared with Yellow.

Treat as above and review.

8. Show FIVE VALUES of RED-PURPLE Green.

Treat as above and review.

9. Show FIVE VALUES of YELLOW-RED Blue.

Treat as above and review.

10. Show FIVE VALUES of GREEN-YELLOW Purple.

Treat as above and review.

_Aim._--To recognize sequences combining five values in each of ten hues. To name, match, imitate, WRITE, and arrange them.

STUDY OF SINGLE CHROMAS AND THEIR SEQUENCES. Two Years.

_FIFTH GRADE LESSONS._

1. Review sequences of hue and value. Find them on the color sphere.

Name, match, imitate, write, and arrange them by hue and value.

2. Teach use of term CHROMA. Compare three chromas with three values of red.

Name them WEAK, MIDDLE, and STRONG chromas.

Find in nature and art.

3. THREE CHROMAS of RED. Compare with three of blue-green.

4. Show COLOR TREE. Suggest unequal chroma of hues.

5. THREE CHROMAS of YELLOW. Compare with three chromas of purple-blue.

6. THREE CHROMAS of GREEN.

red-purple.

7. THREE CHROMAS of BLUE.

yellow-red.

8. THREE CHROMAS of PURPLE.

green-yellow.

9. Arrange five middle hues in circle, described as on the surface of the Color Sphere (middle chroma), with weaker chromas inside, and stronger chromas outside, the sphere.

10. Review,--to find these sequences of chroma in nature and art.

_Aim._--To recognize sequences combining three chromas, middle value, and ten hues. To name, match, imitate, and arrange them.

_SIXTH GRADE LESSONS._

1. Review sequences combining three chromas, five hues, and middle value.

Find on Color Tree, name, match, imitate, and arrange them.

2. THREE CHROMAS of LIGHTER and DARKER RED. Compare with middle red.

3. Write as a fraction, chroma under value, using 3, 5, and 7. Thus R 5/7.

4. Find CHROMAS of LIGHTER RED, and compare with darker blue-green.

5. THREE CHROMAS of LIGHTER and DARKER YELLOW, with purple-blue.

6. GREEN, red-purple.

7. BLUE, yellow-red.

8. PURPLE, green-yellow.

9. Colors in nature and art, defined by hue, value, and chroma.

Named, matched, imitated, written, and arranged by Color Sphere and Tree.

10. Review,--to find sequences combining three chromas, five values, and ten hues.

_Aim._--To recognize sequences of chroma, as separate from sequences of hue or sequences of value. To name, match, write, imitate, and arrange colors in terms of their hue, value, and chroma.

COLOR EXPRESSION IN TERMS OF THE HUES, VALUES, AND CHROMAS.

_SEVENTH GRADE LESSONS._

1. Review sequences of hue (initial), value (upper numeral), & chroma (lower numeral).

2.

3. Exercises in expressing colors of natural objects by the NOTATION, 4. and tracing their relation by the spherical solid.

5. REDS in Nature and Art, imitated, written, and traced by the spherical solid.

6. YELLOWS in Nature and Art, by the spherical solid.

7. GREENS in Nature and Art, by the spherical solid.

8. BLUES in Nature and Art, by the spherical solid.

9. PURPLES in Nature and Art, by the spherical solid.

10. ONE COLOR PAIR selected, defined, and arranged for design.

(See note 4th Grade.)

_Aim._--To define any color by its hue, value, and chroma. To imitate with pigments and write it.

_EIGHTH GRADE LESSONS._

1. Review sequences, and select colors which balance.

Ill.u.s.trate the term.

2. BALANCE of light and dark,--weak and strong,--hot and cold colors.

3. RED and blue-green balanced in hue, value, and chroma, with EQUAL AREAS.

4. YELLOW and purple-blue with EQUAL AREAS.

5. GREEN and red-purple with EQUAL AREAS.

6. BLUE and yellow-red with EQUAL AREAS.

7. PURPLE and green-yellow with EQUAL AREAS.

8. UNEQUAL AREAS of the above pairs, balanced by compensating 9. qualities of hue, value, and chroma. Examples from nature and art.

10. ONE COLOR PAIR of unequal areas selected, defined, and used in design.
