10/29 - Color Theory Trees

Color theory is defined as: a practical guidance to color mixing and the visual effects of specific color combinations. There are also definitions of colors based on the color wheel: primary color, secondary color and tertiary color. 

For this project we will be creating a color wheel of primary and secondary colors.  We will start with the primary (red, yellow, blue) and mix them to get our secondary (orange, green, violet).  Students will paint six sections on their strip of paper.  These will be used for the "leaves" later on.


My palette of colors.
We will talk about, look at trees and practice drawing a realistic tree.  My drawing is not overly realistic because we need six main branches for this project.
Here is the mostly finished project.  The students' will have more leaves.  I left mine on the light side so they can see the tree.
