Radial Design Color Wheels

5th graders learned about color theory in this project. We learned exactly how to make the twelve colors on the color wheel. We reviewed how to make different values of each color as well. The students designed a color wheel with radial symmetry in their sketchbooks. In their design, the students were to have designated areas that included the hue, tint, and shade (tone was optional). Students received red, yellow, blue, white, and black paint to create all of their hues and values for this project.  Once the color wheels were completely painted, the students went back with a permanent marker to redraw over their pencil lines.  Great job!
