This week the 6th grade artists continued to work on their color schemes unit of study. We began the unit with a complementary color scheme which uses opposite colors on the color wheel such as blue and orange,red and green and purple and violet. These color combinations give greatest contrast to the viewer and create an illusion of visual excitement in a work of art.
Next, students learned about analogous colors or color families and started a symmetrical design in cool colors such as blue,green and violet with neutral accents. The third design is based on a warm color scheme and requires the use of red,orange,yellow and intermediate colors that can be found between the primary and secondary colors. The next creative assignment is to create a neutral design with drafting tools such as circle templates and rulers.
Each student must use brown,grey,white and black to create their neutral work of art.
