Color Scheme Paintings 

Lesson Objective: SWBAT understand the the difference between the color schemes warm, cool, monochromatic, and and analogous, and apply that knowledge to three different paintings.

Essential Skill To Be Mastered: To create 4 different paintings, one using cool colors, one using warm colors, one using analogous colors, and one using a monochromatic color scheme.

I Can Statement: I can create 4 different painting using one different color scheme (warm, cool, analogous, and monochromatic) for each picture.

Lesson Strategy: Day 1 - Talk again about color schemes and the definition (an organizer for color) Call on students to come up and write a different scheme of the 8 different color schemes on the board. Show them different examples of each of the color schemes they will be using to help ensure they use the proper color schemes when painting. Day 2-5 - Question students each to help cement their understanding of the different color schemes. Use guided practice and give one-on-one help to those who need it.

Four 9x12 sheets of drawing paper

Pencil

Water cup

Paper towels

Paint palette

Instructions: 

1. Have students draw 4 similar drawings, on on each paper.
