A diagonal line you should know
Yeah there are many other lines you can know Like geometric, organic, and gestural
Or zigzags or spirals that grow and grow Oh there are many other lines you can know

Well you may know about color, also called a hue
But today we’re gonna talk about value!
So here's the color wheel, umm yeah you know
And here is black and white, well where do they go?
They don’t have a spot, but you can add them to
any color on the wheel, or all of them too!
Let’s try Let’s try
Just take any color and then add black Good job, now the color is dark!
A color that is darker is also called a shade Mix black and red and maroon is made!
I said color that is darker is also called a shade
Mix black and red and maroon is made!
Let's try Let’s try
Just take any color and then add white Good job, now the color is light!
A color that’s lighter is also called a tint
Mix white and red and you get pink!
I said a color that’s lighter is also called a tint
Mix white and red and you get pink!
Value Tones, tints and shades
Value White, black, and greys
Now what about grey, what is that?
Well that’s what you get when you mix white and black
Add grey to a color and you get a tone There’s not just one but many tones
So get some paints and experiment And make a lot of shades, tones, and tints!
Let's Review Let's Review
Add black to color to get a shade Add grey to a color and tones are made
Add white to a color and you get a tint
Line them up from light to dark, you get a gradient!
This is what we mean when we say value
The lightness or darkness of a color or hue!

Colors, oh Colors
We started with the color basics, let’s face it, you made it
This far for a reason, now itchin’ and you’re racin’
To learn more and more so let’s review It starts with yellow, red, and blue
Yes it’s elementary, three colours primary One yellow, two blue, three red like strawberry
All the other colours come from these three yo
But you need to learn more to be a true color hero
Now level two, here’s what you do You mix red and blue, red and yellow, yellow
and blue Three new colors called secondary
One orange, two purple, three green like a tree
So now we have a nice color wheel of six then But what happens if we mix them again?
Each color with each color beside them bam, new colors!
It’s not scary, level three, these new colors are called tertiary
Keep on starin’ with your eyes, learn the names, memorize
Tertiary colors, from the top, clockwise Red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green
Blue-purple, red-purple, now we’re back at the beginning
And if those names are boring, they got other names too
Like amber, vermilion, teal, and chartreuse Violet, magenta, let’s all raise our voices
Say new color names, now look at the choices!
Look at the choices
The color wheel’s grown bigger it’s expanding Just like your mind, it’s demanding
that you learn more about color schemes, are you ready?
Opposite colors on the wheel are called complementary
Whoa! Complementary did you say?
These are the colors that are furthest away From each other on the wheel, but they clash
When together, some call it contrast
You want some examples to see what it means?
If you want to be seen just try wearing red in a forest of green
Don’t hide a purple monster in an all-yellow town
And emphasize this orange with a blue background!
Let’s keep moving on, no this ain’t the end
We are going to take a look at colors that blend
Nice together, now back to the wheel let’s discuss
Colors that are close together called analogous
So you take colors that are side by side, one and two and three
We got green, and teal, and blue, and these Analogous colours please the eye
Create visual harmony, let’s try
How about yellow-orange and orange and red-orange this time
I know oranges don’t rhyme, but you can combine them
All together and you got a fire So sweet to stare at, you’re getting mesmerized
by these colours but we ain’t done yet!
No we ain’t done yet!
Moving right along with the song, one more thought then that’s it
There’s another color scheme we call monochromatic Mono means one and chromatic means color
Sound too simple, don’t worry, you can use other values
Combine it with any tones, tints, and shades What’s all that?
It means blacks, whites, and greys Yeah values, and we got another whole song
concerning that But for now you should just concentrate on
learning colors
On learning colors
Yeah we’re learning colors Complimentary colors
Analogous colors Monochromatic colors
Colors
Now when you mix red and yellow you get orange When you mix yellow and blue you get green
And when you mix blue and red When you mix blue and red
When you mix blue and red you get purple
That's pink. Cut!
And when you mix blue and red When you mix blue and red
When you mix blue and red you get purple

mix blue and red When you mix blue and red you get purple
Salamander, now you can't be in this video
I'm sorry, you're not purple
I'm sorry
Cut! I said cut!
A diagonal line you should know It goes across, from low to high or high to low
It has action, it has movement, it is on the go
