3rd Grade- Name Color Wheels

We practiced making line-shape letters and color mixing to create our own personal twist on ROY G. BIV.

We only used the three primary colors- Red, Yellow, and Blue- to create Orange, Green, Indigo, and Violet- the secondary colors.

We also learned that Black and White are not colors, but all colors and the lack of color, respectively.

Isn’t it interesting how the waxy crayons repel the watercolors?

2nd Grade- "The Dot" Color Wheel

We read “The Dot” by Peter H. Reynolds and discussed how all great artwork starts with a mark.

We learned that all we need are the three primary colors to create all the other colors of the rainbow.

If you stand back and look at our color wheels from a distance, the little dots will blend together to create the secondary colors.
