Color Palettes and Loomis

This week my students worked on a combination project - employing Loomis' informal compositional structure alongside identifying their personal color palettes. I've talked about color palettes a lot over the years. It's one of the puzzle pieces that helps a creator identify their personal style. By understanding what colors they are naturally drawn to (HA!), they can make conscious decisions to use those colors to create their personal style/look. I was so pleased with the results - better than I expected! And I put them in our Illustrators' Treehouse Display cabinet so that everyone can see!I love showing off my students' works!I had them identify their own palettes, but also the palettes from some famous artists. The patterns that were revealed were really cool! But I liked the personal color palettes the best. Here's Izzy's... and Eli's...and Joy's...Groovy, eh?
