Foot & Hand Color Wheel Crayon Resist is a FUN and unique way to paint a color wheel. I have done this with upper elementary and middle school art students-they all love it!
IO: Students will identify primary, secondary & intermediate colors. Students will review how to mix colors on the color wheel.
Delivery:
Color wheel: organized into 3 main groups:
- Primary colors (red, yellow, blue)
- Secondary colors (green, orange, purple: made by mixing 2 primary colors together),
-
Intermediate colors (yellow-orange, red-orange, red-violet, blue-violet, blue-green, yellow-green: made by mixing one primary color together with one secondary color).
