Color theory has three basic categories: color harmony, the context of how colors are used and color wheel which is what we are focusing on in this lesson. Sir Isaac Newton developed the first circular diagram of color in 1666. The color wheel consists of primary, secondary and tertiary colors. All our colors come from just three (primary) colors: red, blue, yellow.
Rather than do a traditional color wheel, we will create ours in the form of a chameleon. Chameleons are a lizard. The 160 species come in a wide range of colors - perfect for a color wheel! We will do a practice drawing first then redraw on our good sheet. Since they are found in warm climates, rain forests and deserts, students will have a choice as to the setting for their chameleon.
We will be using primary and secondary colors for this project. Students will have a choice of crayons or color pencils.
