After they've created a grayscale protrait, they learn about color schemes and have to choose one to create a sort of expressionistic 2nd version of their portrait. My favorite is the classic analadous in shadow, analagous warm in highlights, but they can choose from any of the described color schemes.. from mono-chromatic to triad, etc. </p> http://www.artteacherforum.com/topic/45#post-125 Mon, 18 Feb 2008 11:47:27 +0000 arttchr 125@http://www.artteacherforum.com/ <p>Wow Dawn, you are in Sac!-- so is half the family.
