PAINTING Station COLOR Unit
High School / Fine Arts / Painting
The purpose of this instructional video is to preview the PAINTING STATION in our Color Unit for K-2 Artists.
It?s me, Mrs. Ramirez and I?m going to preview the Painting Station.<br>
In this session, you will learn the Art Elements of Color and Texture.<br>
And the Art Principles of Contrast and Pattern.<br>
Don?t forget!<br>
Elements and Principles are two of our Quack-a-demic vocabulary words. If you hear the words Elements and Principles, say ?Quack! Quack!? and be ready to tell all about it.<br>
What are the elements and principles of arts, you ask?<br>
Elements are things you see in your art, like colors and textures.<br>
Principles are the ways you use colors and textures to create contrast and patterns.<br>
Today, you will use the principle of pointillism or painting with dots to make the secondary colors, green, orange and violet.<br>
Using fluorescent primary color paints, cotton swabs and 8 pound paper.<br>
Because we are using fluorescent primary color paints, our primary colors, red, yellow and blue, will be replaced by pink, yellow and blue for more vibrant colors.<br>
Everyone knows that pink is a tint of red.<br>
When your color wheel is complete, you can use it as a tool to choose harmonious colors or colors that look great together.<br>
Before you begin, I need 3 things on the front of your paper.<br>
Your name, your secret code and the color of your table.<br>
Now you are ready to begin. Get your work space ready by moving your primary colors near your black paper which you will use as a blotter to keep your paint off the table.<br>
Pick up the yellow paint first. Place 1 pie shaped piece on the black paper and use the cotton swap to fill the entire surface with a yellow dot pattern. This is pointillism.<br>
The more slowly you press, the more colorful your dots will be. So take your time. No pounding on the table please.<br>
That looks great! <br>
Be sure to put your cotton swab back into the container.<br>
Next, do a blue dot pattern into the yellow pie shape and make sure it is evenly covered.
You will begin to see green.<br>
Congratulations, you will see your first secondary color.<br>
Now put that green pie shape aside. Don?t lose it! You will need it to complete your color wheel.<br>
Use the yellow once again and cover another pie shape with another dot pattern.<br>
Once it is completely covered with yellow, add a pink dot pattern until you can see orange.
Great job! You just made your next secondary color!<br>
Now use pink paint to cover another pie shape with a pink dot pattern. <br>
That looks great!<br>
Now add a blue dot pattern until you see your last secondary color. It?s violet!<br>
Great job!<br>
Now great a dot pattern pie shape for pink, yellow and blue. The primary colors.<br>
Now Abra Kadabra! Turn your paper over.<br>
Now that you have made yellow, green, blue, violet, pink and orange, you are ready to assemble your color wheel.<br>
Now use your glue stick to attach the pieces to the paper.<br>
That's too much glue. That glue stick will break.<br>
Be sure to get the glue up to the edges of the paper.<br>
Carefully press with your fingers.<br>
Line it up carefully!<br>
Great job!<br>
Continue gluing and pressing each piece into place until all 6 pieces are attached.<br>
Press it down carefully and don?t forget to cap up your glue.<br>
You did it!<br>
What a beautiful color wheel.<br>
You can use your color wheel to choose colors that are harmonious or that look great together.<br>
Good luck!<br>
