This lesson was a one-day skill-builder activity before we start our next big project. The goal was for students to increase their understanding of color relationships and how intermediate colors are created. In addition, the intricate painting process helps students develop their brush-handling skills. In the first step, students used a black crayon to draw a continuous line spiraling out from the center of their paper. They could use a simple round spiral, or different shape- some students chose triangles, rectangles, or hearts. Students painted their spirals by beginning with one color in the center, then blending into an adjacent color. In doing the blending, intermediate colors like red-orange and blue-green were created. When students had made a full revolution around the color wheel, they continued into another round. Students needed to use careful brushwork to avoid the colors mixing into a muddy mess!
