Join Our Final Art After School Session Starting May 8

We've been having a great time at Art After School this Spring! We launched Juicy Wednesdays, made more awesome art and as things are warming up we are spending more and more time outside! We've been out back in the Acorn community garden space just enjoying the outdoors. It's been so nice to be able to start having some class time outside again! We been loving watching the animals around the bird feeder, especially the Robins, Squirrels...and pair of Cardinals!

There has been a bit of garden work- weeding, raking, digging and turning the soil and deciding where to plant things. Yesterday's group dug up some worms and discovered a fat grub. We have some wonderful new veggie seeds to plant from Urban Harvest - but we have to get the new soil turned and these seeds started ASAP...And make our bean pole tents!
We have *lots* of fun things to do at Art After School this Spring!

MAKING COLOUR WHEELS

Somtimes colour wheels are basic.
This colour wheel features just the primary and secondary colours.

We're kicking off our ART AFTER SCHOOL learning by creating our own colour wheels.
It's great to start the learning year with this activity, a fun way to explore basic colour theory.
Making a colour wheel teaches kids how to mix and is a helpful tool when choosing colours.

This color wheel shows the tertiary colours. These are the colors formed by mixing a primary and a secondary color.
That's why the hue is a two word name, such as blue-green, red-violet, and yellow-orange.

This wheel demonstrates Hue Tint Tone and Shade.

A colour wheel can show a little information, or a lot!
Colours that sit next to each other on the colour wheel are called
analogous colours. When combined their effect is harmonious.
Complementary colours sit across from another on the colour wheel and have a strong contrast,
like green and red or purple and yellow.

You can start making a colour wheel with paper shapes and stickers.
Put a primary colour in each third of a paper plate, and built on that!

Love chalk pastels AND they are a great tool for introducing colour mixing.
Plus you can remove chalk with an eraser.

I give kids a extra piece of paper to try out their colours and blending.
We can try out fingers, brushes, q-tips and sponges.

I have had students use paint and chalk.
This artist concentrates hard as she labels her colour wheel.

Filling in spaces around paper shapes with chalk.

This artist sees if she can make purple by putting blue chalk on a red shape.
