1-2.) I thought that the value scale would be fairly easy to do. But two and a half hours later, and ten crinkled up sheets of paper after, I was near tears. It became my kryptonite or whatever it is that was Supermans takedown thingy. I had to teak a break and run to Tim Horton's to get a cappuccino. I don't know why I couldn't do it. And my end result is very elementary looking but it was the best I could do. The color wheel on the other hand was a nice change of pace. I did the color wheel directly after I did the scale and it was nice to finally see some color! I have to admit that I had never even heard of the color Cyan before this module. I found the color wheel to be much more gratifying in the finished product than my value scale.
3.) The most important discovery for me was just how much work it takes to create even the simplest form of art. My friend saw the directions for the value scale and said that I could do it in about 15 minutes. But looks are deceiving. It takes a lot of time and effort to accomplish something so straight forward, at least on my end.
4.) I think for me the most important factor was that what I always thought were the primary colors are indeed not! And also the discovery of the color Cyan. I liked the fact that the videos were not long at all, so it allowed me to keep focus and stay interested.
