1st & 2nd - Color Wheels




COLOR WHEELS!






Partners used paper plates to trace and cut out two circles - one on white paper, one on black paper. 




After discussing color theory (primary colors mixing to make secondary colors), students used primary colored crayons to makes the secondary colors. We folded the white circle in half, and then in thirds to get 6 sections on our color wheel. 




Look at those well blended colors! 




We then took the black circle and folded it the same way as the white circle. 
This time we cut out organic shapes - similarly to cutting out snowflakes. 




Finally, we glued the black circle on top of the color wheel - ta-da! 

The kids really enjoyed identifying recognizable shapes in the black papers. Some saw fish, birds, faces and all sorts of neat images! What wild imaginations these kiddos have!
