What is a color wheel?
It is the basic tool for combining colors. The first circular color diagram was designed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666.
This is for info – too detailed for K but the color wheel is designed so that virtually any colors you pick from it will look good together. Over the years, many variations of the basic design have been made, but the most common version is a wheel of 12 colors based on the artistic color model.
Traditionally, there are a number of color combinations that are considered especially pleasing. These are called color harmonies or color chords and they consist of two or more colors with a fixed relation in the color wheel.

5. What are the primary colors?
Hand Painting
What are the primary colors?
Red, Yellow, Blue.
I see you.
You are the Primary Colors.
You make all the other colors.
I wish I was a color
like Red, Yellow, Blue!
These are the 3 colors that cannot be made from mixing other colors BUT … all other colors can be obtained by mixing these 3!
Do they know Primary colors – red, yellow and blue
Do they know that when these are mixed they make what is known as Secondary colors – this will be demonstrated by docents or students.

6. What are the secondary colors?
Hand Painting
What are the secondary colors?
These are the colors formed by mixing the primary colors.
The secondary colors are achieved by mixing primary colors. We will have the students practice this as part of the practical lesson today.
Before we move onto the practical – read ‘Little Blue and Little Yellow’. If students are restless skip reading the book and have the teacher read it to those students who finish early and are sat on the rug.

7. Write name on the back of paper
Hand Painting
Write name on the back of paper
Trace around your hand multiple times with your pencil (x 5 min)
Use an oil pastel to trace around all of your hand prints
Using the 3 primary colors, paint the insides of all of your hand prints
Using the secondary colors the background of your painting
Docents – its helpful to have put a few drops of water on each pan so the color is ready for students to use.
REMIND STUDENTS THAT THEY NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE A LEAST 5 HANDPRINTS ON THEIR PAINTING. THEY ALSO NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY USE ALL 3 PRIMARY COLORS ON THEIR HAND PRINTS. THE BACKGROUND NEEDS TO BE ONE COLOR ONLY.
