About April's Guest Artist:

Eric is an artist, engineer, and art advocate from Raleigh, NC. Starting with his sketchbook series in 2018, Eric strives to do bold and interesting things with color theory and storytelling in each sketchbook illustration. Each illustration is made traditionally through mixed media, from colored pencils and markers to spray paint to washi tape. Eric gained his inspiration through pop and geek culture (mainly science fiction, fantasy, and horror), but also the fine arts and historical art masters before the postmodern era. 

Eric is a board member and one of the founders of CoLab Raleigh, a nonprofit organization advocating, educating, and supporting the visual arts throughout the NC Triangle area.

Activity Description:

In this class we will focus on color mixing and making color charts.

• We will start with 5 or 6 colors (black, gray, 3 primary colors, maybe white) and end with at least 14 or 15 colors.
• We will mix new colors from the original 5 or 6 colors.
• After we chose our 14 or 15 colors, we will make a hexagonal color wheel.

This activity will be a brief but detailed overview of color theory through primary colors, the color wheel, and values/contrast.
