6th Grade Radial Color Wheels

Sixth grade students are finishing up their radial color wheel project. They designed and painted them with hues, tints, and shades all the primary, secondary, and intermediate colors. Here are the project objectives:

Objective(s)—Students will be able to...

• Identify and create a design with radial symmetry.
• Identify the primary colors and mix those to create the secondary and intermediate colors.
• Identify what a hue is.
• Identify and create tints and shades of various colors.
• Neatly paint a radial design as a color wheel with a hue, tint, and shade in the 12 colors of a color wheel.

Most students published their painting to Artsonia using our new classroom iPads! Check out the pics here: 6th Grade Radial Color Wheels.

Students also used two different apps to manipulate a photo of their color wheel and they also uploaded them to Artsonia. The apps were Percolator and Wordfoto.

In Percolator students adjusted the style of their color wheels. See the projects here: Percolator Color Wheels.

In Wordfoto students used a minimum of 5 words to describe their project and then superimposed those words onto their painting. See the projects here: Wordfoto Radial Color Wheels.
