5th Grade: Object Color Wheels

Color has been the word of the quarter in our 5th and 6th grade classes. We have been studying the color wheel, color relationships, and other color studies.
For this project, the 5th grade classes were allowed to draw any object they wanted. We then divided our paper into six sections and painted those sections to create unique color wheels.
Students also learned about complementary color relationships when painting the backgrounds of their pieces.





6th Grade: 3D Color Wheels (Art and Science Lesson)

Our 6th grade classes recently finished up a color study subject: 3D Color Wheels.
This project was inspired by a light box project from the Amazeum here in town.
The object of this lesson was to learn about the color wheel system and light, color, art interactions.
But the fun part? They look amazing when placed in front of different light sources!
Take a look at the finished products as well as our process:
