| Day One |
Day One- In class we chose two colors to start off with. We then chose the color that would occur if the two colors mixed. We found the middle color by putting the two outside colors completely over the middle color and slowly pulled them apart, so as to see if he middle color contained each of the outside colors.

| Day 2 |
Day Two- We did something very similar to day one, in that we only used three colors, but this task had a slight variation. With this task, we, again, chose two colors to begin with and then find the middle color. This time the colors are set up in a cross to show the complete mixture and how to colors look separately. I think the continuance of color on each side really helps bring out each of the colors in the middle. This task was also to practice technique- cutting, rubber cementing, etc. Luckily rubber cement rubs off very easily.

| Day 3 |
Day Three- Our third task was to create another compilation of blended colors. With this task, we used 9 colors in all. We began with the middle color. We then selected 4 more colors for the 4 corners. Lastly, we found the mixtures of the middle color and each corner color.

| Day 4 |
Day Four- On the fourth day, we chose three colors and had to find a fourth color that would be the equivalent of the first three colors combined. My technique in cutting and pasting together is getting better at this point but not yet on point.

| Day 5 |
Day 5- For this task, we began with two colors, the one at the top and at the bottom. The colors are supposed to be complimentary to each other, so I chose purple and yellow. The next colors we chose were the two outside colors on the top half of the diamond, the red triangle and the blue triangle. Directly below those triangles are shades of the color, displayed in another triangle. The triangles between the top yellow triangle and the red and blue top half triangles are a mixture between the triangles that are touching. The diamond is configured so that all the colors are related to the ones they are touching. For every group of four triangles that make a large triangle, the three outside triangles combine to create the middle triangle.

| Colors by Season |
Distinguishing Seasons by Color- For this task we were to chose a color palette from the diamond color palette (above) to describe each of the seasons. The design or shapes were open to what we wanted to do. My bottom left corner is representative of winter. It is dark and blue. I used blue brown and purple, with a hint of a mauve-y red. Above, in the top left, the colors are representative of spring. I tried to use some of the same colors of winter, as well as some of the colors I used in the summer palette (top right). I included green because it is commonly associated with spring (April showers bring May flowers). The summer palette (top right) have very vibrant colors. I incorporated bright vibrant colors because the summer reminds me of warmth and fun. The purple is included because it is complimentary to the yellow background. The colors used in the summer palette are yellow, orange, hot pink/red, and purple. The bottom right corner is the final color and it is representative of fall. The colors are warmer with hints of winter and summer colors. The dark shapes are a dark purple color, used to compliment the yellow background.
Overall I enjoyed color week. Having a background in art I have a casual grasp on color, mainly from mixing paints and colored pencils and other mediums to create my own colors. The main thing I struggled with was knowing what the color was that I needed, and not being able to find it. Anyways, I love Colors!
