Lesson Plan Art 1 Color

Teacher’s Name: Rick Boone Dates: Monday 09/28/15 through 10/09/15

Approximately 10 days

Learning Objective(s): Students will identify, describe, and apply the element of color.

Materials and Equipment: Textbook, notebook paper, 8.5 x 11 white sketch paper, regular pencil, white eraser, red, blue, and yellow color pencils, ruler, protractor, and compass.

Bell ringer: Answer these questions: Where do colors come from? What did Sir Isaac Newton discover about white light? How do colors affect mood/feelings?

Define these key words: color, hues, primary colors (define and list), secondary colors (define and list), Intermediate/tertiary (define and list), warm colors (define and list), cool colors (define and list), color scheme, monochromatic, analogous (give an example), complementary (define and list), neutral (list), list and define the three value properties of color.

Activities: Mr. B. will introduce color using the toolkit interactive website. Students will interact with activities on the site. Mr. B. will introduce the color wheel shown on page 44 in the textbook. Students will take one sheet of 8.5” x 11” and use a compass to draw a mathematically precise circle covering most of the page (approx. 8” diameter), and a smaller circle in the center of the larger (approx. 3” diameter). Use a protractor to mark 0˚ and 180˚. Draw a line across the marks. Line-up the protractor on the 0˚ and 180˚ and place a dot on 30˚, 60˚, 90˚, 120˚, and 150˚. Turn the paper 180˚ (upside down) and repeat the above procedure (line-up and mark every 30˚). Take a ruler and connect the dots that are directly across from each other on the opposite side. Draw a light line to connect those marks straight across the middle, from the large circles edge to the other side of the circle edge. Use the book as a reference to create the hexagon and triangles in the center. Mr. B. will demonstrate and assist you. It is IMPORTANT that the points in the center are aligned as they are shown in the book. After your wheel has been approved by Mr. B., you must use only primary colors to make all the colors in the color wheel. Mr. B. will demonstrate and assist. You must blend well, smoothly, and mix the colors accurately. Your wheel must be mathematically precise, color accurate, clean and neat.

Layout
Understanding and Execution /
Excellent
The color wheel is exceptionally drawn using precise shapes with the correct number of spaces for the colors. /
Good
The color wheel is well drawn and represents shapes with the correct number of spaces for the colors. /
Average
The color wheel is drawn in shapes, but does not follow the directions given for precision of shapes and/or number of spaces for colors. /
Fair
The color wheel is poorly drawn and does not follow the instructions given for precision of shapes and/or number of spaces for colors. /
Poor
The color wheel is not accurate in precision of shapes and/or number of spaces for colors.
Primary Colors and Secondary Colors /
Excellent
Primary, secondary, and intermediate /tertiary colors have been exceptionally well organized and applied in their correct spaces. /
Good
Primary, secondary, and intermediate
/tertiary colors have been organized and applied in the correct order. /
Average
Primary, secondary, and intermediate
/tertiary colors have been applied, but not organized on the color wheel. /
Fair
Some primary, secondary, and intermediate/ tertiary colors have been applied, but not in the correct place on the color wheel. /
Poor
Primary, secondary, and intermediate/ tertiary colors have not been applied or placed on the color wheel.
Craftsmanship /
Excellent
The color wheel has been exceptionally drawn and is presentation ready with no smudges, wrinkles, tears, or unnecessary marks. /
Good
The color wheel has been well drawn and is mostly clean with few smudges, wrinkles, tears, or unnecessary marks. /
Average
The color wheel has been drawn and is somewhat clean with several smudges, wrinkles, tears, or unnecessary marks. Craftsmanship could be improved. /
Fair
The color wheel has been drawn and has noticeable smudges, wrinkles, tears, or unnecessary marks. Craftsmanship needs improvement /
Poor
The color wheel is sloppy and has obvious, numerous smudges, wrinkles, tears, or unnecessary marks. Craftsmanship needs much improvement.
Colors mixed /
Excellent
All colors have been mixed exceptionally well and are true to their hue. /
Good
Colors have been mixed adequately according to their hue. /
Average
Colors have been mixed, but are not true to their hue. /
Fair
Colors have not been mixed correctly. /
Poor
No colors have been mixed
