Lesson Title: Color Theory/Tree Painting
Lesson Author: Angela Keesee
Grade Level: 5
Subject Area: Art
Time Allotted for Lesson: This lesson was part of a unit that took place over a period of six weeks. Each class period was 55 minutes.
Short Description of Lesson
In this lesson the students will first learn about color theory. This is part of a rigorous lesson based on the Virginia Standards of Learning. The students will discuss primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. The students will be given a blank color wheel. The students will use the primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) of paint to mix secondary colors, (orange, green, and violet) and then use primary and secondary to mix tertiary colors (red-orange, yellow-orange, blue-green, yellow-green, blue-violet, and red-violet). The students will also learn about complimentary colors. The students will learn how to make tints and shades. Then the students will begin painting a background/landscape for their tree pictures. The landscape may be abstract or realistic. The landscape may be a beach, mountains, etc. Once the students have painted their background and it is completely dry the students will paint their trees. Their trees may also be abstract or realistic.
Lesson Plan Standards
Art SOL
5.2 Will use primary colors and black and white to mix a variety of hues, tints, and
shades to create a work of art.
5.3 Will use elements of art-line, shape, form, color, value, texture and space-to
express ideas, images, and emotion.
5.5 Will use principles of design, including proportions, rhythm, balance, emphasis,
variety, contrast and unity, to express ideas and create images.
Instructional Objectives
The students will understand the color wheel and be able to mix colors successfully
The students will mix and use paint successfully. The students will understand and use elements and principles of design to create a work of art.
Enduring Understanding
The big idea of this lesson is nature. The concept is understanding color theory. It is important that students learn about nature, because many artists are inspired by nature.
Essential Questions
As an artist, why do you think it is important to understand the color wheel? How might the color wheel help you? How can color communicate meaning is nature?
Lesson Set
The students will fill out a KWL chart on what they KNOW about the color wheel. The students will fill out what they WANT to know about the color wheel. The students will fill out what they LEARNED about the color wheel.
Rationale
This lesson is related to real life because there are colors all around us. This will help the students understand color theory and know how colors are made. This lesson is also related to real life because there is nature and trees all around us. They will look at the structures of trees and respect the surrounding nature.
Techniques and Activities
Day 1
1. The students will take a pre-assessment on color theory.
2. The students will fill out a K and W portion of a KWL chart about color theory.
3. The teacher will discuss color theory with the students.
4. The teacher will demonstrate how to mix secondary and tertiary colors.
5. The students will mix primary colors to create secondary colors
6. The students will mix primary and secondary colors to create tertiary colors
Day 2
1. The teacher will use open ended questioning to reiterate color theory.
2. The teacher will demonstrate how to mix tints and shades.
3. The students will practice mixing tints and shades.
4. The student will look at pictures of trees and landscapes for ideas.
5. The students will begin drawing their backgrounds
6. The students will paint their backgrounds.
Day 3
1. The students will take a post-assessment on color theory.
2. The students will fill out the L portion of their KWL chart.
3. The teacher will use open ended questions to reiterate color theory.
4. The students will begin drawing their trees.
5. The students will paint their trees.
Lesson Closure
The teacher will check for understanding on what the students learned. The teacher will ask open ended questions about the color wheel. The teacher will ask the students what the primary, secondary and tertiary colors are. The teacher will ask the students how to make the secondary colors and the tertiary colors. The teacher will ask about complimentary colors, and what happens if we mix them together. The teacher will ask about mixing tints and shades. The students will raise their hands and answer the questions.
Assessment/Evaluation
The students will be given a pre-assessment before the lesson is taught to see what their knowledge of color theory is. After the students take the pre-assessment I will grade them and know what I need to reiterate or re-teach. Then the students will take the post-assessment. I will grade the students to see if their knowledge and understand has changed. The pre/post assessment will be a multiple choice test with 20 questions about color theory. I will monitor student progress through their artwork.
Student Product
Day 1: The students will paint a color wheel. The color wheel will guide the students understanding of color theory, how to mix primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. This will also help them create great paintings and works of art.
Day 2: The students will begin painting their backgrounds. This will help them successfully paint a tree in the next class period.
Day 3: The students will paint a tree on top of their backgrounds. Their painting will be abstract or realistic. Exploring these techniques will help the students become better artists.
Supplemental Activities: Extension and Remediation
Extension: Gifted learners or early finishers will be an extension project for them to work on. They may brainstorm different ideas on how to make a new color wheel. Still using the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors the student/s will have to come up with a new design for the color wheel. They must have at least three ideas for a rough draft, then they can begin drawing and painting it.
Remediation: If there is a student that needs the lesson to be re-taught in a different way for them to better understand I would use different strategies so that they would better understand and know the expectations for the lesson. I would go to the student/s one on one and re-teach the lesson in a way that they would comprehend.
Adaptations for Special Diverse Learners
For students with diverse learning needs I will adjust the lesson as needed. I will use various differentiation strategies to assess my students accordingly. If a gifted learner has finished early I will certainly assign them a new project to begin working on, or have an extension of the project they have already finished.
