Color Harmony and Repetition


  1. Develop several simple 3x3 inch designs. The designs must be asymmetrical and have areas to place at least 3 different colors.  Your design should touch the edges of the square on at least two sides. Many people choose to create an image out of their initials.
  2. Using a T-square and triangle, divide a piece of white oak tag into 16 3x3" squares.
  3. Trace your design on a piece of tracing paper. Trace the same image on the back and use it as carbon paper to transfer your design on each of the 16 squares. Rotate or position each group of 4 squares to create different and unusual patterns. Use the four examples below.
Paint each group of four squares in a different color harmony.
  • complimentary
  • split-complimentary
  • analogous
  • triadic
Carry one color throughout the whole project.
