Color Theory - Art Journal
First grade studied the color wheel and focused on Primary and Secondary colors.
We used watercolors to create a primary to secondary color scheme for the background of our art journals.
We watched this awesome youtube video about color theory:
We also read the book:
A color of his own
by: Leo Leoni
Elephants are gray. Pigs are pink. Tigers have black and orange stripes. It seems that every animal has its own distinctive color — except the chameleon. And that makes the little chameleon hero of this picture book very sad. Every time he moves, he changes color! So, wanting nothing more than a color to call his own, he decides to stay in one place forever: on the greenest leaf he can find. At last the chameleon is happy . . . until autumn comes, and the leaf changes from green to yellow to red. Finally, another chameleon arrives, and suggests they travel together. The two set off for a new life of multicolored adventure — as friends.
Students drew the little chameleon on the cover of their art journals to help show the shift from a primary to a secondary color.
Fun!
