Painted Color Wheels

Middle School - Elements of Art: COLOR

After all that practice mixing colors with the Value Scales and Robots, students were ready to create their own color wheel.

We learned about all the colors, their places on the wheel, names of various categories of colors, and practice coloring one with color pencil. Whew! Finally, we were ready to tackle the real color wheel.

Students had to decide on a theme and come up with a variety of drawings to create the wheel. Once drawn, each color had to be assigned to its proper placement.


  

Lastly, students were given only the 3 primary colors: Red, Blue and Yellow.

From these 3 colors, they had to mix them in the proper order and proportions to create the rest of the colors you see here.

All this took a lot of work and concentration from the kids and they did a wonderful job.
