LESSON 3: Color

Color Wheel

April 6-10

This week's theme is COLOR. There are three lessons to choose from with two activities in each lesson. You only need to CHOOSE ONE ACTIVITY from ONE LESSON. Of course you can always do more if you want.

Turn in a photo of your artwork on Artsonia under the project "At Home - Color"

1. RAINBOW COLOR ORDER

Activity 1: Scavenger hunt. Put objects in a rainbow colored order or in a color wheel order.

(Many students have already completed this)

Activity 2: Create artwork based on the rainbow color order. Choose your subject and supplies. Somewhere in your art there needs to be the ROYGBIV color order.

2. MIXING COLORS

Activity 1: Create your own color mixing activity starting with the primary colors to make secondary colors and maybe even tertiary colors. You can use food coloring, paint, playdoh, or anything else you have to mix colors. 

Activity 2: Use paint or food dye in water to paint your own color wheel using only primary colors to mix.

3. MONOCHROMATIC (1 color)

Activity 1: Put together a monochromatic outfit.

Activity 2: Make art using monochromatic colors. Choose your subject and your supplies. 

Color can give artwork emotion and feelings. When someone looks at your art or your outfit, what do you want them to feel? For instance Blue could seem sad, Red can seem angry, and Yellow can be happy.

RESOURCE: Artsonia - Turning in Artwork

This is post is specifically for my amazing art students.

When you turn in artwork that you make at home, you will need to upload it to Artsonia. Artsonia is a magical place where you store all the photos of your wonderful artwork. You  may use the free app or the website.

Each week the project theme will include a project title to turn in your artwork. You can also turn in more than one image per project.

I have posted the school's access code on class dojo and on the PDF lessons I give to the teachers. I do not want to post it on a public site because of stranger danger, so if you need the code please email me at ahagen@llschools.net

Once you have the code write it down! Now you can post a whole lot of artworks.
