42. What are we going to do first?

43. We are going to make a creative color wheel

57. Your color wheel has to have all 12 colors… in a creative way.
Start out by organizing a simple color wheel in your DW (The handout)
Then, come up with a theme or template in which to work with
You might draw a picture and then trace it to replicate it
You might have the color wheel as the picture itself
You may want to find a picture or object in which to inspire your color wheel
