I have created value scales in the past so this was nothing new to me. It didn't take very long to complete either. The only part that took a little longer was trying to make the shading precise and differ from the square adjacent to it. The color wheel was fairly easy too. I found difficulty in trying to measure the amounts of color to put in each, which resulted in the purple being too blue at first. It took me a few tries to get it precise.
I liked working with paint the most despite my lack of expertise with it. I enjoyed trying to create a new color from two existing ones, and perhaps this is because of my love of Photoshop. The basic concept of the program is to create something new from something that already exists, so I felt like I was designing a new project.
I believe the most important discovery was the utilization of our problem solving skills. In my experience, I had to figure out ways to make the resources I had work for the task at hand. I know nothing about paint, so I had to sort through different shades and brushes to figure out which ones to get. Then when the time came to do the projects, I had to find paper that was thick enough to withstand the solution.
Perhaps the most important information that I learned was the "truth" about primary colors. The video's explanation really made sense to me, because primary colors are subtractive. Subtractive colors don't make brown, they make black. On the contrary, additive colors make white so this would make sense because black and white are opposites on the spectrum.
