Wheel shape collage3/25/2023 ![]() Show the lesson examples and hold up each section, asking if it’s positive or negative space.Post vocabulary words and color wheel on the board.Construct a paper collage using complementary colors.Reflection Point (Assessment of Learning Objectives) When you show them a positive/negative space optical illusion like the example below, ask them what it is a picture of, a vase or 2 people? Is there only one answer? (No.) Ask students to think of different complementary color combinations they’ve seen. Look for them around the room. Using a color wheel, go though the contextual information above. Refer to it during the lesson whenever possible. If students can’t think of an object for their horizon you can have templates available to trace.īriefly discuss the vocabulary above.Erase marks won’t show if the final cut paper is flipped upside down. If students make mistakes in the initial drawing, it’s ok to erase and start again.Remind students that glue belongs on the edges of the paper, not the middle.Be sure to line up the overlapping paper corner to corner before you glue.If time is a consideration, you can pair up students so they each use a single cut drawing to make 2 pictures. ![]() Advanced Preparationġ-3 different examples of the lesson, using different landscape ideas. Space is either positive or negative in a composition, and artists must consider both. Space in a picture is also manipulated to make it more interesting. When 2 complementary colors are mixed (not always equally) they always make brown, just as if you mixed all 3 primary colors. green is a mixture of blue and yellow and red is its complement (not “compliment”: which is just a nice thing to say about someone). An interesting way to remember them is to know that 2 primaries, when mixed, are the complement or opposite of the 3rd primary. Traffic lights and school colors are example of these combinations. Complementary pairs are green/red blue/orange yellow/purple. Complementary or opposite colors on the color wheel are the most highly contrasting colors to each other, and artists use this to make the colors stand out. Materials & SuppliesĬolor can be used by artists to make art more interesting if they know how colors work together. Vocabulary WordsĬolor Wheel: a tool in which colors are arranged in a specific order in a circle used to explain color theory and show how colors relate to one another.Ĭraftsmanship: following directions and using care and neatness with tools. Positive/Negative Space: positive space is the actual space taken up by a line, shape, or form. Negative Space is the empty space surrounding a shape, figure, or form in a 2- or 3-dimensional artwork. Principles of DesignĬontrast: refers to the arrangement of opposite elements, or using very different qualities next to each other to create visual interest, excitement and drama. Space: can be positive: the space an object occupies, or negative: the space around the object. Shapes can be geometric (straight edges, often symmetrical) or organic (curved edges, asymmetrical). Shape: a two-dimensional (flat) area enclosed by a line. ![]() Secondary Colors: created by mixing two primary colors: blue & yellow=green, blue & red= violet, and red & yellow= orange. Primary colors: the basic colors from which all other colors are mixed: red, yellow, and blue no other colors can be mixed to make primary colors. Complementary Colors : colors that are opposite on the color wheel and highly contrasting. Colors are grouped by certain characteristics. Color: the visible range of reflected light.
