I will use these materials to teach the students the color systems. Each student in grades 3-5 will create a color wheel. They will use science and art, to mix colors and discover how primary are used to create secondary colors. The students will then use the primary and secondary colors to create intermediate colors.
Students will learn the color spectrum - the effect that occurs when light passes through a prism and separates into a band of colors in the order of the rainbow. The students will learn the order ROYGBIV - Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. This "hands-on" lesson will give the students the opportunity to mix the colors from the tempera paint and watercolor palette paint. This is when the magic of "Art and Science" will be combined to create a beautiful 2-D Color Wheel on 12"x 18" white drawing paper.
The final project will be that each student will have created his/her own Color Wheel. Learning about mixing primary colors, creating secondary colors and intermediate colors.
