Art 231 Painting I - Truckee Meadows Community College
Participants- Quentin DeBrabander, Parker Howard, Rachel Lopez, Sean Mchaney, Tatum Scheiber, Nicholas Torres In Spring 2025, Art 231: Painting I students at Truckee Meadows Community College participated in the Honeycomb Project through an Expressive Color Wheel assignment. In this project, students explored the physics of blending and the principles of subtractive color, an essential foundation in traditional painting. Guided by the classical color wheel, students experimented with hues, tints, and tones to create vibrant, expressive compositions. The assignment emphasized understanding the relationship between high-key and low-key values while building confidence in color mixing. Each artwork features twelve key hues and their variations. Students using Golden Open Acrylics were encouraged to select either a warm or cool palette as the foundation for their design. Professor Rossitza Todorova
