4th Grade students are learning about the 12 color Color Wheel throughout the year. For this lesson, they learned that related colors are colors that touch on the color wheel. Another name for related colors is analogous colors.
Students practiced drawing trees in their sketchbooks. Next they practiced painting trees with black paint. The idea was to practice making trees with wide trunks, thinner limbs and increasingly smaller branches as they grew upward.
For the final project, they drew a tree with branches that extended off the edges of the paper. They painted the trees black. Then they blended 2 related colors of oil crayon in each space that was created. The trees are abstract. Real trees in our neighborhood have many more branches and twigs. We simplified by leaving out details.
