Johannes Itten was born on 11 November in 1888, in Süden-Lindern in Switzerland. He went to the theacher-training institude in Bern, to bacame a primary-school theacher. Later on he also got a diploma to theach at secondary schools. But Itten bacame a painter. In 1913 Johannes Itten was a student from Adolf Hölzel. And between 1919 and 1922 Itten was teaching at the Bauhaus in Weimar. He even founded his own art school in 1926. Johannes became director of a museum, a school, won prizes and wrote books about colour theorie. After a life of hard-working and succes, he died in 1967.As you can see in the picture there are three primary colours: blue, yellow and red.With that colours you can make the secondary colours: green (yellow + blue), orange (yellow + red) and violet (blue + red). And if you mix the primary and secondary colours you get the tertairy colours.
When you add white to a colour it's called a tint. If you add black to it it's called a shade. Each colour of the colour wheel also has its opposite colour: complementary colour. E.g. red and green, yellow and purple, blue and orange. You can see them in the flowers in the middle of my colour mixing sheet:
I got an 7.5 for it, I think that's such a high mark for it, because I didn't finished all of it. And some colours aren't really what I wanted them too be. For example: you can't really see the difference between orange and orange yellow. That's also because when the paint dry's it changes a little bit in colour.
But I'm happy with my mark!
