My attempt at a color wheel using CYMK...lol
So I'd say in general this wasn't the most accurate project ever.
The initial progression from black to white was made using a charcoal pencil. I filled in the initial black box and made many passes until I had a finish I felt was completely covered. Then I slowly worked my way up. Initially I was very careful during the subsequent boxes as I knew IF I went to dark I would not be able to come back. So, I filled most of the boxes just lightly with very light and slow passes. I then slowly created my transgression from the bottom up, careful not to reach my final point until I was sure that I would be able accurately continue.
Then came the color wheel where I determined that my art package purchased for this class was not sufficient as I lacked the CYM primaries, so I had to make them. I'm not sure how I really missed it in the chapter, but I was of the impression that RGB were the primary colors, which I discovered to be inaccurate as I couldnt come up with a yellow....I tried to make a version of CYM using what I had, and it came out okay. I was actually surprised when I was able to come up with a green, and it showed the truth behind the color theory despite my initial mis-application. Also, my center dot didn't really turn out black. I consider this an effect of the inaccuracy of my initial color triad and application vs the only other possibility, that the color theory is incorrect.....
