Wavy Line Sculptures

The 1st graders created these mixed media works of art.  We started out discussing the primary and secondary colors.  We went into depth a little further and discussed how each of those colors have numerous values.

Hue = Color
Tint = Hue+ White
Tone = Hue + Gray
Shade = Hue + Black

The students chose one hue (blue for example) and took black and white to mix their different values.  They created abstract paintings with as much value as possible.  Once they were dry, the paintings were cut into 4 strips.  The students then glued their strips in wavy formations onto consturction paper.
