Finding the Value in Your Surroundings

Found Object Color Wheel Challenge!

Since we are away from school and may not have access to our art supplies, we will be using Items found around our homes to create a color wheel.  There is color everywhere in our lives! You are welcome to use art supplies like crayons and markers if you have them. But, try to think outside of what art normally is created with. Think about what colors are in your everyday life. Plastic cups, boxes, toys, clothes, shoes, food, books, paper, pillows, leaves, anything!

The color wheel helps us remember and organize colors by their relationships to each other. For instance: The PRIMARY COLORS are Red, Yellow and Blue.  These three colors when mixed together in different combinations make all the other colors, like The SECONDARY COLORS : Orange, Green and Purple. The color wheel is set up so that the secondary color that is created by mixing two primary colors, goes in the space between those two colors on the color wheel. Look at the color wheels below to find Orange. It should be sitting between the two colors that are mixed to make orange: Red and Yellow. Green should be between the two colors that are mixed to make green: Blue and Yellow. And Purple should be between Red and Blue which are mixed to make purple. There are many other colors, and variations of VALUE (light to dark) and HUE (intensity of the color). You can bring as many colors as you would like into your color wheel, but first make sure you have your Primary and Secondary colors covered!
