Although it is a messy activity, we're going to try and make marbled paper in class. Here is my at home attempt and a LINK for step-by-step instructions.

Line-Design
After teaching students about the color wheel, I want to try this line-design project. Students can explore different color combinations in their design. Directions for the project can be found at the link below. Pretty cool huh?

The Color Wheel
Primary Colors
The primary colors are the foundation of the color wheel. They cannot be created, no matter how many different color combinations you try. They are red, blue, and yellow.
Secondary Colors
Secondary colors are those you get when mixing two of the primary colors. Red and yellow make orange. Yellow and blue make green. Blue and red make purple.
Complimentary Colors
Complimentary colors are those opposite one another on the color wheel. Red & Green, Purple & Yellow, and Blue & Orange are all complimentary color combinations that "compliment" one another.
Warm Vs. Cool Colors
The basic warm colors are red, yellow, and orange. The basic cool colors are blue, purple and green. Neutral colors are black, brown, white, and grey. HERE you will find a video tutorial for a cool project to explore these color combinations.
