The Project: This week in e-Comm we made color wheel! We did this project to learn the basics of adobe illustrator and color schemes. We learned about the primary and secondary colors. First we learned about good color schemes and the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Then we were taught how to use adobe illustrator. What I learned; First we earned about color schemes. There are many different color schemes, including warm and cool colors, monochromatic, color triads, analogous colors, and complementary colors. Then we learned how to use adobe illustrator. First we created a new file using he web setting which was 800x600 pixels. Then we started making our color wheel. Then we learned about all the tools on the side and the short cuts for those tools. How it went: Overall I think making the color wheel went really well. It was very fun to learn about color and different color schemes. Also I have never used adobe before, it was hard at first but got a lot easier.

         Over the past three days we worked as a group to create a symbol that represented us. The First day we were randomly assigned groups, once we were put into groups we were told to think of a symbol that represents our selves. The teachers taught us about ancient art and symbols. For example if you played soccer your cold do a soccer ball to represent you. then they said how colors can represent something to, like in a flag the colors could represent peace or war.        My groups members were Annabelle, Kate, and Andrew. Overall as a group we worked very well together. The first thing we did was work together to try to think of out symbols. Mine was a pointe shoe to represent dance, Annabelle's were pom poms to represent cheer, Kate' was a painting brush because she likes art, and Andrew's was a baseball and bat because he plays baseball. Then once we had our symbols we decided to put them in a code of arms.      ...
