Students
will use the following activities to review the color
wheel/theory that they have learned in previous art classes.
With this knowledge they will begin to incorporate their
color theory into simple sketches on their handheld. The
program that they will use will help them learn the importance
of using layers, which will help when the students begin
work with Photoshop. |

- Students
will review the basic concepts of Primary, Secondary and Tertiary
colors.
- Students
will be able to answer multiple questions on the color theory.
- Students

Other
Materials
- PowerPoint
- Photoshop
- Document
Camera
- Instructional
Handouts
- PowerPoint
- Beam
Slideshow To Go to all students.
- Have
the students open up Slideshow To Go and read the information
on color.
- Explain
that there are blank slides that the students will have
to try and fill in with the information that was provided
throughout the show.
- After
the students have had a chance to complete the task. Pull
up the completed PowerPoint and review the correct answers.
- TealPaint
- Have
students open up TealPaint
- As
the teacher demos the beginning portion of this program
students are to follow along.
- Create
a new image database by choosing NEW. Name it COLOR PRACTICE
and then hit CREATE.
- Select
COLOR PRACTICE from the list. Now the students are ready
to begin.
- Have
the students watch as you show them all the tricks of TealPaint.
Reinstate the use of LAYERS throughout the presentation.
- Explain
the assignment. The students are to create three different
backgrounds. Each background must use at least three layers.
One background must be done in analogous colors, one in
cool colors, and one in warm colors.
- Students
must also create one character, (made of any color –
I suggest neutral) that will be put into each of the environments
that were created. It must be the SAME character. This way
it makes them learn to cut, paste, add layers, and resize
objects.
- Students
will then share their project with the rest of the class
and discuss the color themes that they used and what kinds
of issues they had when using layers.
- Quizzler
- Beam
the color Quizzler quiz to all students.
- When
students have completed their projects they may continue
to review with the help of Quizzler.
