2) Create a Non-Traditional Color Wheel

Color Wheel #2---Non-traditional color wheel

  1. Be creative!

  2. Come up with a different way to express the colors on the color wheel that is entirely different from a traditional color wheel.

  3. In fact, it doesn’t have to look like a ‘wheel’ at all! The only real requirement is that you clearly express each primary, secondary, and tertiary color in your non-traditional color wheel.

Student examples 



How do I get my artwork to my teacher?
Easy! Take a picture of both color wheels and insert them into a google doc or word file.
 
​Don't forget your summary/reflection:
Write a one-paragraph (minimum) reflection on this project and your work. 


Grading:
Your grade will be based on how well you followed the instructions for the traditional color wheel, and whether or not your non-traditional color wheel was creative, original, and clearly expressed all necessary colors. You will also be graded on your reflection.
