Description
These were made for my college colour theory spring course.

Colours are mixed with 3 primary gouache+ black n' white, each square is 15x15cm, all the shapes cut out and glued in place one by one.
Emm... One contrast square took ~2 hours and harmonie square about ~3 hours to complete. And there is 17 squares. :DD

So yep, you are looking at quite a lot of hours there.
(just that you'd get the lil' hint of how long one effing college work can take. ONLY ONE. D:<)
Also, put my colour wheel at the top~ *le captain obvious*
Maybe it helps a little to understand these contrast/harmonie combos.

A little copy paste descriptions of the contrast and harmonies/ what the eff all these colourful sqaures mean.

Contrasts
Simultaneous- The contrast is formed when the boundaries between colors perceptually vibrate.- Basicly this colour combo (orange+grey)- the grey should look blue'ish next to orange when actually it's not.
Saturation- The contrast is formed by the light and dark values and their relative saturation.- Basicly one colour is "pure" and the other is the same tone mixed with either black or white.
Complementary- The contrast is formed by the color wheel or perceptual opposites.
Cool vs Warm- The contrast is formed of hues considered 'warm' or 'cool.'- (As everybody knows?) warm colours are everything that consist yellow and cold colours consist blue.
Proportion- The contrast is formed by assigning proportional field sizes in relation to the visual weight of a color.
Light and Dark- The contrast is formed by the light and dark values. This could be a monochromatic composition.- One colour is mixed with black and other with white.
Hue- The contrast is formed by different hues. The greater the distance between hues on a color wheel, the greater the contrast.- Or in other words, this contrast works best if you use the opposite pure colours (not mixed with white or black). The colours should start to "vibrate" and leave a "third" colour boarder, the colours should "scream" right at ya. Not very pleasing for the eyes...

Harmonies
Triad- If you position a equilateral triangle on the colour wheel, you get the three colour harmonie tones.
Tetrad- Same thing, if you position an equal sided square on the colour wheel- the four colours of the tips of the square form the harmonie.
Analogus- Consists of one sector on the colour wheel. (like from yellow to red and everything that's between them)
Chromatic+Achromatic- Basicly random colours + grey tones.
Shades- Most of the colours are dull and mixed with black.
Family- There are two colours a "mother" and a "father" tone and their mixes are the "children"= family. x)
Monochromatic- One pure colour is mixed with black and white.
Complementary- As mentioned before, this is the opposite colours of the colour wheel.
Pastel- All the tones are mixed with white.
Related- All the tones are mixed with same primary colour. We called this one "a glass of Vodka" x'DDD
