Contrast of Extension, DAWN HUNTER, PROJECT AUTHOR. PROJECT CONCEPT IS BASED ON THE TEACHINGS OF JOHANNES ITTEN AND Developed through the Guidance of ROY DRASITES' SYLLABUS.



CONTRAST OF EXTENSION PHYSICAL PREliminary, three color Balance schemAtic



Students are assigned preliminary exercises in which they mathematically determine the harmonious proportions in unique compositions comprised of two, three, or six pure colors respectively.



Contrast of Extension Final COmposition



After completing their preliminary exercises, student create a final painting and distribute the quantity of each color according to the principle of Contrast of Extension.



Contrast of Extension, Physical Preliminary, Six color Balance Schematic



In a series of preliminary exercises students create compositions that are mathematically balanced in harmonious proportions as prescribed by Itten. The ratios are determined through fractions.



COntrast of Extension Digital and Physical Preliminaries



To develop agility with digital technology, we incorporate handheld device digital platforms. We utilize this technology as a digital sketchbook. Before painting their highly crafted preliminary scales and final paintings, students understand concepts and color schematics on a digital platform. Like any sketchbook, the expectation is that their digital sketches remain raw and not polished.



ITTEN'S COLOR WHEEL Here IS BASED ON THE MATHEMATICAL PRINCIPLES OF CONTRAST OF EXTENSION.
