Color Theory Unit and Color Schemes Unit begins

This week the 6th grade artists are concentrating on the color wheel and the relationship of colors.

We are studying analogous color schemes which are used to create a mood in paintings and art in general. Students are creating a variety of symmetrical designs based on opposite colors on the color wheel which are called complementary colors. In addition,we have started a project on cool colors which are also analogous in nature.

Students will begin to develp an awareness of the relationship to color schemes in textiles,clothing,interior design,animation and film.
