Art Assignment #4: Handmade Color Wheel

Handmade Color Wheel

A color wheel is an arrangement of colors in a circular form that illustrates color relationships – it is therefore essential for understanding color theory. Looking over the variety of color wheels that were showcased in the Powerpoint and learning materials, you will make your own color wheel by hand.

What you will need:

•             A plain sheet of paper (unlined)

•             Drawing tools in at least the 12 primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. You can use whatever drawing or painting medium you would like, such as colored pencil, crayon, watercolor, acrylic paint, marker, ink…

•             A ruler or straight edge of some sort

•             Something to trace a perfect circle of at least 6” in diameter (a bowl, a compass, etc.)

Instructions:

•             Make a color wheel that includesprimary, secondary, and tertiary (in other words, intermediate colors like yellow-green) colors.

•             There must be at least 12 colors in the wheel, but you can make more.

•             You must write labelsfor each color, noting whether it isprimary, secondary, ortertiary.

•             Start by tracing the outer circle – it should be at least 6” in diameter.

•             Use a ruler to draw the dividing lines in pencil first so that your lines will be straight.

•             Sign and date the front of the drawing so that it’s visible.

•             Scan or photograph the drawing and upload the image under “Art Assignment #4: Color Wheel”
