Studio Project 1: Color Scales
The assignment was to create a set of 13 color scales: 5 monochromatic, 3 complementary, 3 analagous, 1 achromatic, and 1 color gray tone scale. Two of the scales should show simultaneous contrast (e.g., a color superimposed on each module of one of the 13 scales.)

Studio Project 2: Bi-directional Value Study
In this assignment we created a storyboard, where the background was 5 modules of increasing value, and the foreground presented shapes in decreasing value. We had to include a color anomaly for simultaneous contrast as well.

Studio Project 3: Automatism
Dictionary.com defines Automatism as "a method of producing pictorial art, as paintings and collages, associated chiefly with the dadaists and surrealists, in which the artist strives to allow the impulses of the unconscious to guide the hand in matters of line, color, and structure without the interference of conscious choice." We had to quickly produce 10 paintings in this manner.
Studio Project 4: Everyday Things
For this project we had to choose a photo of “everyday things” from our life, e.g., a kitchen scene or a meal in a restaurant. We then had to produce two sketches, two grayscale studies, and 5-6 color studies (all about 4" x 6") and then create a final of about 8" x 10". We could only use two colors, plus black and white, and their mixes, and we had to include a range of values.
