5th graders created color wheel eyeballs! First students labeled and colored a worksheet identifying the proper organization of a color wheel. Then students used rulers to evenly divide their square paper into 12 equal sections. After labeling each section, students began painting their color wheels using the primary colors first, then the secondary colors, an ending with the intermediate colors. After their papers dried, students constructed their eyeball using a large white circle as the…
Everything looks better in color, right? Even a rainy day!! 2nd grade has been learning about the color wheel! We've discussed analogous colors, warm/cool colors, complementary colors, and primary/secondary colors. The easiest way for students to draw the sections was to make them even, which messes up the accuracy of the color wheel a bit, but you could always modify to make it more accurate. These are so bright and beautiful and perfect for Spring!!

I was looking for a way to teach my 6th grade art students how to mix colors and create their own color wheel without using the old-fashioned ( and somewhat boring ) color wheel model. Unfortunately,...
4th grade is finishing up these fantastic chameleons this week! We drew our chameleons by picking out the basic shapes, such as a triangle for the head. Then we discussed their environment and the different types and textures of foliage we could include. I gave them color wheels and briefly discussed patterns before turning them loose with paint!
Thank you to h_mazzuto at Art, Paper, Scissors, Glue for the basic idea for this lesson. Our 5th grade artists reviewed the primary, secondary, and complementary colors and why they are positioned where they are on the color wheel. We then talked about the intermediate or tertiary colors and how we can mix specific primary and secondary colors to create them. For example yellow and green mix to make yellow-green. 1. Students traced a circle template on their 12"x12"white drawing paper. They…
1st graders sang the song about our good friend, Mr. ROY G BIV. They learned that his names stands for the color order! Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet! We looked at why rainbow is important for color mixing and color families on the color wheel!
I found this 6-part color wheel project on Artsonia.com from Alum Creek Elementary, Lewis Center, Ohio. It was called Matisse Leaves but I made a few adjustments to turn it into a color wheel...
