Lesson Two
Common Core Standard: Re:7.2.Ka
Let's look at some art!
Look at the painting here - What is this painting about? What is happening? What do the colors make you feel?
EXTENSION: *If you have art supplies at home and some extra time* Use your art supplies to create a piece of art about how you're feeling.
Lesson Three
Common Core Standard: Re:7.1.Ka
Let's learn about the color wheel!
The color wheel is a circle chart that shows PRIMARY and SECONDARY colors. It goes in rainbow order. Look at the picture to see what a color wheel looks like. We're going to create our own!
Look around your house to find at least 3 different items of each color on the color wheel - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. Arrange each color in that order in a circle. *If you are able, send me a picture of your found object color wheel*
