B). Considering that I am working with elementary school students I think my idea of color suits
the group better. Color is great with this age group because they are focusing on whats going on
around them. Color is what gives them motivation, makes them happy, and makes them sad.
They are at the state of identifying objects by their color. They are learning why some objects
have a certain color and their meaning. Color is a great way for them to experiment as well
seeing how colors interacts with one another and reacts to each other depending on the
Page| 1
medium. At this age students like ideas that have emotional appeal. These students also like to
learn and use new vocabulary so introducing new meaning to words for them and different
medias can help expand that. Crayons with colored names printed on them will develop
students' color vocabulary. They get the chance to explore a variety of tools and materials such
as markers, charcoal, pastels, crayons, watercolor, and tempera. Student can experience
different medias and learn how they mix and how they can get colors to blend. They can create
art and reflect upon what they have made. They seek and construct meaning through
encounters with art, create narratives about artworks, and discover the significance and value of
art in their lives.
Central Focus (creating, presenting, interpreting, responding, and/or relating art to context)
Color Concepts
Color is something we all see, unless blind or color blind, examine and put certain meanings to.
It is all around us and can go unappreciated. It is interesting how we associate colors such as
red being love or even pain. Sometimes we see red and think of a stop sign or blood. Colors
play a role in meaning and objects play a role in the meaning of color. How someone puts colors
together is also important. Colors have expressive qualities. Artists select color for their effect or
appeal. Bright or warm colors convey a feeling of happiness. Cool colors produce feelings of
sadness and pessimism. Colors can also have symbolic significance and suggest abstract
qualities. Color brings something special to your work of art. While painting in black and white
often brings a classic feel, color can make your art piece pop. Color can make the viewer feel
like they are in the art. Additionally, color brings depth and life to a work. The use of color
creates drama, power, and emotions. I will present the color wheel and work on projects specific
to primary, secondary, and tertiary colors as well as a warm and cool colors. Mixing colors and
experimenting with them with different mediums will also help students get a feel for how colors
interact and how they sometimes dont. Students can then start to exam others work from a
critical stand point in interpreting a meaning to the piece.

They will divide it into six sections. They will use tempera to paint each
section using red, blue, and yellow and mixing. Students will write the
names of the colors on their wheel and number the primary colors one,
two, and three and the secondary colors four, five, and six. Students will
use that as a guide and create lady bug depcting two wings of colors and
there mix in the middle. It can be primary and secondary color mixed and
to go further black and white mixes.
Lesson Two
Title Warm and Cool
Lesson Description Students will begin by picking warm or cool colors. They will then think of
everyday objects that have those colors. They will draw out those objects
randomly on a piece of paper and color the objects accordingly with any
medium they choice.
Once they are done they will use the other warm or cool colors to create
another work with objects that relates to those colors.
Students will share their work with the class and name their work using a
word or words that give emotion or meaning.
Lesson Three
Title EXPLAIN THAT ART
Lesson Description Students will discuss how artists might use their works to communicate
ideas and share experiences. Students will discuss the meaning and
purpose of art and come up with a few purposes. I will explain art as
research and students will view artists who mainly rely on color the get a
meaning acrosss and they will work in small groups to come up with
strategies the artist uses in terms of color and color mixing in order to
make his/her work inquisitive in nature. In these same groups students will
create a collaborative drawing using the same strategies they came up
with for one artist to describe a moment they felt those emotions in one or
all of their lives.
