Putting the Color Wheel to Work

Today you're going to demonstrate your mastery of the Color Wheel by showcasing it in your photography.
If you haven't read the reading assignment from Monday, you'll have to do that before you go out to shoot in today's beautiful weather.
Today you'll be going out and photographing examples of PRIMARY, SECONDARY, and TERTIARY Colors.
Your task at hand is to find 5 examples of each color category. This means that you could take 5 photos of objects that are blue. However, YOU CANNOT PHOTOGRAPH ONE OBJECT/SUBJECT MORE THAN ONCE. (EXAMPLE - YOU CANNOT TAKE PHOTOS WITH THE BLUE SKY IN THE BACKGROUND AND USE THAT FOR EACH EXAMPLE OF PRIMARY COLOR.)
You'll then find and photograph 5 objects/subjects that have color schemes based on ANALOGOUS COLOR and 5 objects/subjects that have COMPLIMENTARY COLOR.
When you're done, create Albums in iPhoto for PRIMARY, SECONDARY, TERTIARY, ANALOGOUS, and COMPLIMENTARY colors.
Drag the appropriate photos into the corresponding Albums.
These photos will be used in your very first Photoshop assignment on Friday, so make sure that you have all of these photos taken by then.
