Color Wheel Lesson
The color wheel lesson was a fantastic way to build up students' skills and confidence with painting and mixing color. Painting is a material that requires a lot of patience and experience. Before starting out the students with a large project, they were asked to create a color wheel with only the colors: blue, red, yellow, white, and black. This color wheel would also act as a great resource for creating color schemes for their later painting. From this small project, I could notice which students would need a challenge and which students would need accommodations.

THE OBJECTIVES
The student will be able to create a sequential color wheel and identify the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. (Bloom’s: Apply, Standard: Create, GLE: Assess and produce art with various materials and methods)
The student will be able to mix a tint and shade of each of the twelve colors and apply them to his/her color wheel. (Bloom’s: Apply, Standard: Comprehend, GLE: Art and design have purpose and function)
The student will be able to create a gradual, seven box color scale mixing red and green, yellow and purple, and blue and orange. (Bloom’s: Analyze, Standard: Comprehend, GLE: Visual art has inherent characteristics and expressive features)
The student will be able to write three observations about mixing colors and the color wheel in their sketchbook. (Bloom’s: Evaluate, Standard: Reflect, GLE: Reflective strategies are used to understand the creative process)
The student will be able to recall how the works of Vincent VanGogh exhibit the concepts of color theory. (Bloom’s: Analyze, Standard: Transfer, GLE: The work of art scholars impacts how art is viewed today )
