Elements of Art: Color Basics and Color Schemes

Introduction to color as an element of art, including primary colors, secondary colors, and the basic mechanics of a color wheel, and a detailed breakdown of basic color schemes: monochromatic, complementary, split complementary, triadic, analogous, and tetrad.

The slides on color schemes delve into the technicalities on how these color schemes "work," as well as some helpful tips for choosing color schemes for designers.
