Objective:
Learn to mix and apply paint by painting a color wheel.
Supplies:
Color wheel hand out, paint, brush, water cup, pallet, and paper towels.
Vocabulary:
Secondary- Orange Green, and Violet. These colors are mixed by adding two primary colors together. Ex, yellow and red make orange
Tertiary- Red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, red-violet; when naming these colors the primary color comes before the secondary color. (the name also tells you how to mix it)
Neutrals- these hues are not part of the color wheel but if certain colors are mixed together you can create a neutral. Ex. Red and green make brown
•Analogous - colors that are adjacent (next to) each other on the color wheel.
•Complements - these colors are opposite each other on the color wheel. Ex. Red and Green, Blue and Orange, Yellow and Violet, etc…
