Using pencils for the background and colored pencils or paints for the wheel, students will complete their piece individually. The teacher will assess understanding of values and use of the 12 colors through informal checks and a formal checklist. Accommodations allow for varying levels of support and challenge.

incorporate the color wheel?

2. Students will use a full range of value.
3. Students will use all 12 colors in the color wheel.
4. Students will come up with your own original idea.
5. Students will work with regular pencils and colored pencils. I will allow markers or paints for
the color wheel.

Accommodations (Students that Need More Support & Students that Need More Challenge)
This project gives the students many choices. They can go as elaborate or as simplistic as they
choose. Students will be shown examples and have various materials that they can look on via
Canvas.

Teacher Reflections/Future Variations:


Emphasize the full value background make sure students realize that that is critical. Make the
students understand that the color wheel is to create interest but in many ways is not the focus
the background is essential for good grade. Explain that students do not have to have color
wheel in a circle I am only expecting students use the 12 colors that are in the credit color
wheel. Show example of this on Canvas.
