Color Wheel Matching Game (Art is all around us!)

Color Wheel Matching Game: First, we looked at and talked about the color wheel.





We played this game outside: 

Yellow!!!

• One student rolls a color die.
• The student chooses a friend and both kids look for a hidden item in the corresponding color.
• After locating the item, the players will place/match their object to a colored paper in the same color (representing one color of the wheel).

Matching the item to the color wheel

Looking for the hidden items

 

While playing this game, we focused on staying with a partner.

 

Art Project “Watercolor Paintings”: We worked with a partner. First we mixed some primary colors to make green, purple and orange and talked about the color wheel again. Then, we used brushes to apply watercolors to watercolor paper. The paper was primed with rubber cement. It was a big surprise to see that the parts of the paper that were covered with rubber cement stayed white. We also explored another technique, namely sprinkling salt on the watercolors.
