Color Wheel

I made this for our art teacher to help students learn about color theory. The larger color wheel model is specifically designed for 7th graders, where they paint primary sections and mix colors to make secondary colors. The smaller version caters to younger kids and focuses only on primary and secondary colors. Versions of the model without labeling are also available for teachers to customize. The picture above shows a completed model painted by students, which serves as an excellent example of their learning outcome. Overview --------- I created this color wheel model to aid our art teacher in her lessons about primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. The larger version is suitable for 7th graders, who paint primary sections and mix colors to create secondary and then tertiary colors. Lesson Plan Objective: Learn about the different types of colors Primary colors (P): Students paint each section in its correct color Mixing primary colors creates secondary colors (S) in the same sections Project: Create a Color Wheel Model Activity 1. Print out color wheels on light-colored paper. 2. Paint primary color sections correctly. 3. Mix primary colors to create secondary colors. 4. Combine primary and secondary colors to produce tertiary colors. Result I've made this color wheel model for our art teacher, focusing on color theory for her class of 7th graders. This activity allows students to visually understand the concepts of primary, secondary, and tertiary colors by mixing colors in different proportions to achieve various shades. Note: Please consult a map or online search engine to access specific NGSS standards related to art and color theory that can be connected with this activity. Preparation 1. Print out light-colored paper. 2. Provide paint materials for students to create their models. Project Standards ------------------ The activity aligns with several National Science Education standards. For further details, please consult the resources below.
