Complementary Colors - Arts Impact



ARTS IMPACT LESSON PLAN383349578105527431074930Visual Arts Lesson Radial Complementary Composition Authors: Heather Cumming & Sherri Sonn with Carol Gould Grade Level: Kindergarten - 5th gradeEnduring UnderstandingComplementary colors lie directly across from each other on the color wheel and can be combined to create visual interest. Radial symmetry can be found in nature and can be created by rotating shapes around a center point. Lesson Description (Use for family communication and displaying student art)Students study complementary colors by creating a composition using a shape template and radial symmetry. Compositions are completed with craftsmanship using complementary color oil pastels.Learning Targets and Assessment CriteriaTarget: Identifies complementary colors.Criteria: Pairs (complementary) colors across color wheel on graphic organizer. Target: Creates radial symmetry using a shape.Criteria: Traces a template repeatedly around a center point to create a composition with radial symmetry.Target: Uses good craftsmanship to apply oil pastels.Criteria: Fills the shapes and background in opaquely with complementary colors.Learning StandardsWA Arts State Grade Level ExpectationsFor the full description of each WA State Arts Grade Level Expectation, see: Elements: Shape1.1.6 Elements: Color1.2.1 Skills and Techniques: Technical drawing, Oil pastel1.1.7 Principles of Design: Repetition, Balance2.1.1 Creative Process2.2.1 Presenting Process2.1.3 Responding Process4.2.1 Connection between Visual Arts and MathEarly Learning Guidelines, if applicableFor a full description of Washington State Early Learning and Child Development Guidelines see: Grade: 5.

Build awareness of radiating symmetry by observing radiating symmetry in works of art and in nature. Lesson Steps OutlineDay One1. Show a color wheel and explain that complementary colors are those that are directly across from each other on the color wheel. Criteria-based teacher checklist: Pairs (complementary) colors across color wheel on graphic organizer.Day Two2. Introduce and guide discussion surrounding Tile with Twelve-pointed Star. View radial symmetry as seen in life in slideshow of radial symmetry examples.Show a finished example and walk through step by step as students trace their template. Criteria-based teacher checklist: Traces a template repeatedly around a center point to create a composition with radial symmetry.3. Lead students through complementary color choice using graphic organizer and oil pastel application. Criteria-based peer share and teacher checklist: Choose a complementary color pair from graphic organizer. Fill the shapes and background in opaquely with complementary colors using pastels.4. Facilitate gallery walk. Criteria-based peer reflection: Responds to art.LESSON STEPS____________________________________________Day One1. Show a color wheel and explain that complementary colors are those that are directly across from each other on the color wheel. Put white sticky notes to cover all color wheel tertiary colors for easy identification of complements.These complementary color pairs (that bring each other to perfection/go perfectly together/complete each other) can be found directly across from each other on the color wheel. When I put my finger on yellow, what color is directly across from it? (Do this for red-green and orange-blue also). You are going to use a graphic organizer to organize the complementary color pairs. Watch me as I write the color names and color in the corresponding squares to create complementary color pairs. Criteria-based teacher checklist: Pairs (complementary) colors across color wheel on graphic organizer._______________________________________________________________________Day Two2. Introduce and guide discussion surrounding Tile with Twelve-pointed Star. View radial symmetry as seen in life in slideshow of radial symmetry examples.77216038735What do you see in this art work? Do you notice that the design is made up of shapes and those shapes are repeated in a circular manner? Where is the center point? Make large and medium triangle templates ahead of time.Today we are going to create our own composition using a triangular template. Watch as I trace this triangular template several times with the point of the triangle touching the center point of the paper. Paper should be folded diagonally twice and unfolded to create an x in the middle and forming central axis point. Students use template with flange handle for a “helping hand”.Show a finished example and walk through step by step as students trace their template. Criteria-based teacher checklist: Traces a template repeatedly around a center point to create a composition with radial symmetry._______________________________________________________________________3. Lead students through complementary color choice using graphic organizer and oil pastel application. 4405630641350We are going to use our complementary color graphic organizer to choose a complementary color pair. One color will fill in our positive space or shapes and one color for the background or negative space. (Positive space is the term that artists use for the thing and negative space is the space around the shape.)Turn and tell your neighbor what complementary color pair you chose for your composition. Watch as I use my oil pastel to fill in my shapes. First I trace the shape and then I use pressure to apply the color to the paper without leaving white space. I am leaving space between the triangles as I trace them which I will color later with my complementary color. Criteria-based peer share and teacher checklist: Choose a complementary color pair from graphic organizer. Fill the shapes and background in opaquely with complementary colors._______________________________________________________________________4. Facilitate gallery walk. Let’s look at everyone’s art. Notice if anyone used the same complementary color pairs. Notice how the radial design looks different or similar in everyone’s design. Criteria-based peer reflection: Responds to art._______________________________________________________________________Complementary Color Discovery Graphic OrganizerARTS IMPACT LESSON PLAN Arts Foundations Visual Arts LessonKindergarten-5th Grade: Radial Complementary Composition CLASS ASSESSMENT WORKSHEETDisciplinesVISUAL ARTSTotal3ConceptComplementary ColorsRadial SymmetryCraftsmanshipCriteriaStudent NamePairs colors across color wheel on graphic organizer.Traces a template repeatedly around a center point to create a composition with radial symmetry.Fills the shapes and background in opaquely with complementary colors.1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26.27. 28. 29. 30.

We talked about complementary colors that go together and radial symmetry in art and nature. We discovered that complementary colors belong together and create visual interest.We studied complementary colors by creating a composition using a shape template and radial symmetry. We completed our compositions with craftsmanship using complementary color oil pastels.At home, you could use small boxes and lids/caps as shape templates for creating drawings in radial symmetry.Enduring UnderstandingComplementary colors lie directly across from each other on the color wheel and can be combined to create visual interest. Radial symmetry can be found in nature and can be created by rotating shapes around a center point. ................
