COLOR!! This fall, I decided to really focus on color theory. My youngest artists picked up color mixing easily with our new plate palettes! I saw this online, and it is definitely an intuitive way to introduce primary and secondary colors. If you want to try this, draw six circles around the plate and only fill the appropriate primary color circles with paint. Artists quickly learn that adjacent colors make a new secondary color, and that mixing everything makes brown:-)
As an assessment, I gave students a "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" worksheet, and challenged artists to mix the appropriate color to paint each character. I was thrilled with the results.
Our 4th Graders painted these incredible Color Wheel Eyes after studying the human eye.
Our 5th Graders worked very hard to design their own unique color wheels using a symbol or shape that they loved. I think their individual personalities shine through these pieces.
