I wanted to teach a seasonal lesson involving Color Theory. This 4th grade lesson was really fun to teach. I started with a review of the color wheel (primary, secondary, analogous, complementary colors) Then we talked about tints and shades and I showed them some artwork painted in all tints and shades. Oh, the power of one color (plus black or white..of course!)
I made this lesson really fun by challenging the students to make the lightest tint of orange and the darkest shade of orange. I told them I would choose my "Art Star" based on who could do it the best!
A great tip for this lesson is to make them draw 6 lines (seven spaces) for their pumpkin, so they all have the same number of tints and shades.
