5th Grade Color Wheel Project

Below are a few samples from a recent color study project completed by our 5th graders. We studied the color wheel and different color relationships and painted designs on paper.
The students were invited to draw single or multiple objects or shapes on their paper before painting.
They also learned about color mixing and technical skills.

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.
