For this project, 8th graders will create a pet portraits using multiple examples of a single color scheme. These will be displayed together to show your understanding of that color scheme. Before you can get started on the final project, please complete the Tone, Tint, and Shade Color Wheel in class. Meanwhile, at home, start thinking about what pet photo you would like to use for the final project. Make it more meaningful by featuring your own pet!
