I am so excited about my new Color Theory Collection! The color wheel, sometimes called a color circle, is a circular arrangement of colors organized by their chromatic relationship to one another. The primary colors are equidistant from each other on the wheel, & secondary & tertiary colors sit between them. Color is one of the most important parts of creating & understanding art. Colors affect the way we feel about a work of art. Different colors can make us happy or sad, calm or excited. Colors can blend together nicely, or contrast in a jarring way. They can be bright or dull. The color wheel is very important for artists when creating a work of art for selecting colors & mixing colors. Learning about the color wheel helps us understand art better. This interactive collection is designed to help children build an understanding of Color Theory & the Color Wheel while building language, literacy, & fine motor skills! The full collection includes 11 reference cards that descibe each concept in clear & concise langauge. Then, using the wool balls & wooden tags children can easily sort colors into categories of primary, secondary & tertiary, warm & cool, complementary & analogous. For added fun & fine motor work, children will enjoy moving the wool balls with bamboo tongs. “All colors are the friends of their neighbors & the lovers of their opposites.” Marc Chagall This collection includes: Birch wood color wheel, 12 wool balls, color word wood tags, color theory vocabulary wood tags, & reference cards.
