Color Wheelin'



After struggling a little with understanding color schemes (see a few posts earlier), my students really rocked it in this Kandinsky inspired "Color Scheme" project.  By separating/concentrating on one color group (or scheme) at a time, students were able to piece together each to create a work of art that really explores the color wheel.

"we're now a quarter of an inch tall. ."

isn't this just awesome?
". . and 65 feet away from the house. That's an equivalent of three-point-two miles. That's a long way.  Even for a man of science."  When I showed clips from the movie, Honey! I Shrunk the Kids!, you should have seen the laughter coming from my students at the how cheesy those realistic, shrunken scenes appeared to them.  It was almost as funny as the giant shrink ray I created and pretended to shrink them all with. (ok, maybe they didn't think that was that cool)  Needless to say, movie-making has made its progression in the realms of realness, and although Honey I Shrunk the Kids could use some updated effects, it still portrays a fun new view on our world to express through art making.
