Grade 6: Color Mixing and Color Theory


Students studied the color wheel and created their own with Tempera paints to start off their painting unit in Studio Art. Through a variety of painting exercises, students became familiar with the medium and learned how to control flow of paint and how to use the brush in a variety of ways to create impressionistic-like marks. Additionally, students learned basic color theory and made examples for their sketchbooks.
