Learning objectives

Intuitive thinking
Problem solving
Consistency
Understanding the color wheel
Expressive qualities and exploration of color
Color mixing

Create a unique color wheel that coincides with primary, secondary, and tertiart colors (total of 12 sections).

Use your imagination to create something obscure but recognizing all the colors in a subtle way.

Principle of Design: Contrast

CONTRAST principle

We are using Contrast Design Principle in this assignment.

Use colors for painting only the spectrum itself.

Everything else, that is not a part of the spectrum should be done using black, white, or greys.

This will create a nice contrast.

STEPS

step 1: sketching

Sketching is an important part of a creative process.

Sketch out your ideas. Do not stop at your first solution. Explore more ideas, then make your choice.

You can manipulate the wheel in any way, but the spectrum should be completed as a full circle, have all 12 colors, and colors should go in order.

If you choose to create a linear spectrum – make sure yoy start with RED and finish with RED-VIOLET. The colors do have to be painted in the correct order.

step 2: drawing

Fill the paper as much as possible.

Carefully draw the layout of your idea, including all details.

Plan on that at least 80% of the artwork should be painted!!!.

step 3: painting

Start painting the color wheel with the three primary colors.

Then mix secondary colors.

Then tertiary colors.

Everything else, that is not a part of your color wheel should be black or greyscale.

WI standards Grading Rubric
standard	no evidence	beginning	emerging	proficient	advanced
Cr.10 aesthetics / problem solving (color mixing, order of colors – spectrum)	Work is not complete and/or does not show the process from specified instructions or there is no evidence.	Student does not understand how to mix colors and to achieve the desired hue; Colors are not in the order	Student attempts to mix proper colors, but some colors are off or missing; Colors are not creating an illusion of a color wheel or spectrum; Color wheel area is too small; Too much white space	All 12 colors are mixed correctly, painted in a proper order. Student used grey and black paint to support the wheel.	Artwork is interesting, detailed, shows understanding of proper color mixing, Greyscale areas support the focal point (color wheel),
Cr.11 planning / experimentation (creativity, sketches and idea development, unique solution)	Work is not complete and/or does not show the process from specified instructions or there is no evidence or is missing	Solution is not original or very basic, No evidence of brainstorming or careful planning.	Some basic sketches were done, but not enough to develop a unique solution	Comprehensive research and sketches were done Sketches (multiple thumbnails) for a unique solution. Artwork is creative and original.	Careful planning, numerous sketches (multiple thumbnails) for a unique solution. The solution is interesting, unique and detailed.
Cr.12 skills (painting technique, craftsmanship))	Work is not complete and/or does not show the process from specified instructions or there is no evidence or is missing	Painting is sloppy, not carefully placed within the outlines, Some areas are not painted	Painting technique needs improvement..
