Activity 1. What is Color in art?

others are reflected or transmitted.

Activity 2. What are the attributes of color?

- Color has three key attributes – hue, value and intensity or chroma. Hue is the color itself, value is the
brightness of the hue when mixed with white and black, and intensity or chroma is the dullness and
brightness of color not mixed with black or white.
