Found Object Color Wheel - Art 3rd & 4th grade March 30 - April 3, 2020 The color wheel is a chart that shows us how colors are related! On the color wheel, there are 3 types of colors. Primary colors, which are the 3 most basic colors. You cannot make a primary color by mixing two other colors together. These colors are RED, YELLOW, AND BLUE. You will also find colors called Secondary colors on the color wheel. A secondary color is made when you mix two Primary colors together. RED + YELLOW= ORANGE RED + BLUE = PURPLE BLUE + YELLOW= GREEN The third colors are called Tertiary Colors. A Tertiary Color is made when you combine a Primary Color and a Secondary color. Like the colors Red-Orange, Yellow-Green, or Blue-Violet (I’m sure you have seen crayons in these colors!)

How can you make the Secondary Color Green? Orange is made by mixing together the Primary Colors _______________ and ______________. How do you make a Tertiary Color? For a little extra help, Here is a fun song you can listen too about the Primary Colors! https://youtu.be/yu44JRTIxSQ Assignment: Now that we know the Primary and Secondary Colors in the Color Wheel, Let’s make a Color Wheel of our own using everyday objects! Materials needed: - Everyday objects from around your house in each color shown on the color wheel. You can find as many or as few as you want! Directions: 1. Find items around your house that are the same colors as the Primary and Secondary colors and if you can the Tertiary colors in the Color Wheel. Toys and school supplies work great! 2. Arrange the objects on the floor into your own color wheel. Remember how the colors are related and make sure you put them in the correct order! The color Blue wouldn’t be next door neighbors with Orange on the color wheel. They live across the street! And Purple wouldn’t live next door to Yellow! It should look very similar to a Rainbow Circle when you are done. Remember ROY G. BIV? https://youtu.be/Gf33ueRXMzQ 3. When you are finished, ask your Parent/Guardian to take a picture or your Color Wheel Masterpiece! You can send it to me if you would like by email at [email protected].
