This week, sixth grade students will begin working on the Color Wheel painting project. This project requires all students to identify the primary, secondary, and intermediate colors on the color wheel. They will reinforce this knowledge by mixing paints to create the secondary and intermediate colors on their own "wheel." In addition, they will create a tint and a shade for all of their "pure" colors. A tint is created when white is added to a color. A shade is created when you add black. The sixth graders are encouraged to paint neatly and accurately within the color wheel boundaries.
