Title: Color Theory Lesson #: 1 of 1

Lesson Idea/Topic and Rational/Relevance:
What are you going to teach and why is this
lesson important to these students? What
has already happened in this classroom
surrounding the subject you will be
teaching? What do students already know?
Why are you going to teach this topic now
(how does it fit in the curricular sequence)?
What teaching methods/strategy will you
be use and why?
I get to introduce color theory! Students have already
worked with color but not addressing it directly. They
will have made collages and painted tiles but this will be
an introduction to using color more intentionally. This is
occurring near the end of the semester because they will
be going into printmaking (and/or painting) and the
students will need to consider color more. I will be
introducing a color wheel project that they will be asked
to complete. I will be demonstrating it on a document
camera and doing a bit of I do, we do, you do. I also
want to make the students interact with the
demonstration so I want to have a kahoot going on to
prompt questions as Im introing (these will ultimately
be pre-assessment questions).

I can: demonstrate understanding of color theory specifically concerning primary, secondary, and
tertiary colors, as well as color schemes

This means: I will accurately create a color wheel illustrating red, red-orange, orange, yellow-orange,
yellow, yellow-green, green, blue-green, blue, indigo, violet, red-violet as well as a tint and shade of
each of those colors.

List of Assessments: (Note whether the assessment is formative or summative)

Formative: kahoot

lesson, To put students into a receptive frame of
mind.
To focus student attention on the lesson.
To create an organizing framework for the
ideas, principles, or information that is to
follow (advanced organizers)
An anticipatory set is used any time a different
activity or new concept is to be introduced.
How do you intend to engage your students in
thinking during the Anticipatory Set? The strategy I intend to use is a video paired with optical illusion

Why are you using it at this point in your lesson? I am using this strategy here because: I want students to think of color in a new way.

-other I will demonstrate how to make the color wheel in my sketchbook using pencil. Students
can begin this step with me. I will also be demonstrating where to place primary colors as
well as how to get started off of those. I will be doing all of this via the document camera
so that students can remain seated at the demonstration and see it on the screen. Some
things to keep in mind:

1. Students will mark the center of their circle with pencil

2. Students will make their outer circle as big as possible
3. Students will then make two smaller circles within that circle
4. Students will then split the circle into fourths with two lines (going through
center dot)
5. Students will then take the TWO right fourths and split each of them into thirds
6. Students will then draw these lines to the other side (circle should be split in 12)
7. Students will then label their color wheel with names of colors
8. Then start with primary colors
9. Then secondary+ tints and shades
10. Then tertiary+ tints and shades
11. Then tints and shades of primary colors

Colorado State University College of Health and Human Sciences
Work time: (20 minutes) whole-class practice
During this time students will (ideally) be working silently. Mr. Moyer and I will be
walking around the room assisting and addressing differentiation.
Turn-and-talk: (5 minutes)
Students will take a brief break from working to give the person sitting next to them
feedback. What could they do better? What are they doing well? Did they do their
primary colors first? How are secondary and tertiary colors? How are tints and shades?
Work time: (15 minutes) whole-class practice
During this time students will (ideally) be working silently. Mr. Moyer and I will be
walking around the room assisting and addressing differentiation. Hopefully students
will have gotten something specific from the turn-and-talk to improve and/or work on.
Clean up: 1:30-1:40
Students will quickly clean up paint, clean brushes, wipe down tables, and put
sketchbooks away.
Kahoot: 1:40-1:46 check for understanding
Students will answer the same questions they answered in the beginning of class. But
now I will call on a few students to clarify/ explain/ dive deeper. I want this assessment
to feel a little less formal. This will go right up to the bell and students will leave.
The strategy I intend to use is checking in with students individually AND having students
do a turn and talk to give feedback midway through work time.
I am using this strategy here because: I can scaffold individual road blocks as I walk
around and students usually work for the entirety of the work time but their productivity
goes down so Im hoping in splitting it with a turn and talk that students will then be
able to effectively use the rest of class.
My closure will really be the closing kahoot, which will have the same questions they
answered in the beginning of class. In this way I am hoping to gauge understanding and I
WILL be able to address what the data reveals in the beginning of next class.

appropriate conclusion. Used to help students bring

things together in their own minds, to make sense
out of what has just been taught. Any Questions?
No. OK, lets move on is not closure. Closure is used:
To cue students to the fact that they have
arrived at an important point in the lesson or
the end of a lesson.
To help organize student learning
To help form a coherent picture and to consolidate.
How do you intend to engage your students in
thinking during CLOSURE? The strategy I intend to use is calling on students during the closing kahoot game to
clarify answers/dive deeper as well as keeping students on their toes since they might

I am using this strategy here because: I dont necessarily need this game to be silent and
I know the kids will be antsy because its so close to the end of class.

room during work time. I am including lots of visuals, a spoken demonstration, work

To modify: If the activity is too advanced for a child,
how will you modify it so that they can be successful?
To extend: If the activity is too easy for a child, how
will you extend it to develop their emerging skills?
Assessment Reflection: (data analysis) I will have the data set from the kahoot games to test if they know the theories of color
How will you know if students met the learning theory. This set includes a before and after from the lesson. I will also have their color

Each color has a tint and shade on either side of it.
