Welcome to the Color Wheel!
So, if we were in class, we'd start by setting up a piece of paper to look like a clock....
Next, fill in all twelve numbers....
Label the primary colors first.
After that, label the secondary colors.
Finally, fill in the tertiary colors. These are also called intermediate colors.
Color wheel complete. Wait. Time to add color!
Primary Colors
Secondary Colors
Tertiary Colors
Now, let's get creative, because you might not have paint....
Libby went with me on my run. She rode her bike. We stopped a lot so we could capture all the colors we could find. Our pace was slow, but we didn't care. It was like a rainbow scavenger hunt! We came home with so many pictures.
At first, I used Keynote played and played. Did you know you can add shapes and then fill them with an image?
In the end I made one simple color wheel using an instagram filter, but I'm not done. I plan to keep playing in Keynote and make a grand piece of art. Time to get creative!
Ooh! One more thing.... If you do have paints, try using ONLY the three primary colors, and mix everything else!
I decided to stay up late and finish my project! But this was so much fun that I might do another. Stay tuned....
I did another! This one was much faster. I've got to get my hands on some paint....
