Influenced culture & design 

We are going to used his ideas to create our names. 

He used straight black lines going up, down, side to side to make shapes. 

He filled in some of those shapes with colors. He kept his color choices basic; black, white, red, yellow & blue (primary colors).

Step by step process... 

Supplie; primary colored washable markers, white non-washable crayon, permanent black marker, paint brush, cup of shallow water, circle tracers, thick white paper. 

Trace inside the permanent black marker line with the washable marker...

Use a lightly watered brush to work from out to in the balloon in a circle motion (mimicking the balloon's form)...

Let this first color dry. 

Move onto next color... 

After the process, I realized you should paint balloons in this color order ;

All yellows, all reds, then all blues

Lightest to darkest. 

Overlapping primary colors make secondary colors!!!!

Add something flying away...

Yourself, your favorite animal, a dinosaur, a house, or jus leave the strings flying loose (for younger grades). 

Cool and Warm Hands

I taught the 6th graders the difference between cool and warm color on the color wheel. I assigned them the task of using a tracing of their hands to fill in with warm or cool colors only. I challenged them to use lines only, but allowed them to use shapes as well as part of their designs. As part of the advice, I had them only get a collection of whatever colors they work working with at one time (a pile of warm only or a pile of cool only) so they do not accidentally grab the wrong color and mess up the lesson goal. 6th grade 2023   Madelynn, Anden, Emilia,  Shaylee, Alissa, Olivia  Shaunna, Victoria “Jeremiah”, Addison Bella G., Harper, Tatum  Sunshine  Eduardo-6th grade 2022 Melanie C.- 7th grade 2022 Elva- 6th grad  Fall 2021

One of the easiest ways to do neat designs with minimal effort is in video below. 

Use a lighter shade of the warm or cool color solid in background, then go over the solid with a darker color. This looks like it takes a long time and hard work, but is actually pretty easy. 

Or, use thick stripes rather than solid....
