Students chose an ironic, unexpected, or personal subject matter as their concept to create an unconventional paint by number. This project's main idea is to begin the process of understanding color relationships as they relate to value and form. By meaningfully incorporating this concept into the art-making process in the style of an ironic paint by number, the importance of balancing such ideas with craftsmanship is understood. Learning color theory and mixing is a crucial component for an accurate painting.
