Using the color wheel to design a painting
Using your color wheel, you will create a blended painting (without creating "mud") that will incorporate imagination and creativity using tempera and string. See below for details!
Materials: sharpie markers, primary colors of tempera paint, large sheet of tag board
Vocabulary: Primary colors, outline, enhance, blending, complimentary colors
When you watch clouds for a time they seem to change shape before your eyes. You will be creating "clouds" of primary colors that blend in an interesting and creative manner. Remember to pay attention that you are not combining complimentary (what are they?) colors to make the color of "mud". Some colors will be more transparent than others, and some will "pop out" more. When your painting is dry, soak a piece of string in ink or black diluted tempera, and carefully drape it on your painting. Allow that part to dry and see what your design becomes. (What does your outline resemble?)
You will enhance the painting with sharpie, and paint out the background with a solid color.
