2. Trace three identical outlines of a landscape composition on your paper keeping in mind that underneath each composition you will be adding a chart describing your use of value, chroma, and temperature. Make sure you have a distinct foreground, midground, and background. (You may use transfer paper)
3. Choosing two complementary colors, mix both chromatic lights and darks, use white to tint, and the complement to darken and/or neutralize. This will be discussed in class for further directions and examples. Complete color swatches as examples of hues varying in value, temperature, and intensity to use within this project.

For this project, you will be exploring atmospheric perspective; a diminishing of contrast and color intensity as objects recede into the distance.
Look at your composition and imagine the distant objects as closer in value with less chroma (color intensity) than objects toward the front of the pictorial space.
You will now design the plan that will show how atmospheric perspective can be applied to three dramatically different value sequences, and how color temperature causes planes to advance and recede.
