During this project the
fifth graders explored the creation and use of color in our everyday lives.
They were able to learn about primary, secondary, intermediate, and
complementary colors as well as the use of tints, shades, and values in order
to create a full color wheel. The students were able to demonstrate all they
learned by creating their very own color wheel that displayed each color and
the tints and shades of that color. After demonstrating their knowledge of the
color wheel, each student selected a repetitive design that complimented their
color wheel. They replicated that design in each slice of the color wheel.
During this lesson the students discovered
artists such as Hans Hoffman and Mark Rothko that are famously known for their
expressive art that utilizes the elements of color. Through these artists the
students discovered how color is used to create contrasting compositions and
optical illusions.
