Science of Color

Scholars recently wrapped up designing color wheel studies.  Each scholar was given a predetermined size of watercolor paper and a compass.  Scholars were instructed to find the center of their paper, then create a circle measuring 10 inches in DIAMETER using the appropriate RADIUS.  Once scholars completed that, they were asked to create arcs using the given radius and use the 4 BISECTING points in their circle.  Once scholars completed all of their ARCS, they ended up with 12 leaf or spear head shapes.  Scholars chose where their PRIMARY COLORS should be located and then completed the color wheel by mixing their primaries into SECONDARY COLORS and then mixing their primary and secondary colors to create TERTIARY COLORS.  Each of the individual artworks looks similar but to complete the wheel, any additional "empty" areas were to be filled in with color and the scholar could use any type of color theory they wanted to finish the wheel.  The last remaining objective was that each scholar was to select one HUE and create a value scale and create TINTS and SHADES of that hue.
