PAINTING Station COLOR Unit

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>
