Color Wheel Eyes Art Project

Color Wheel Eyes Art Project: 

Student Examples and Color Theory Practice

 ⭐ View Resource on Teachers Pay Teachers ⭐

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Color Wheel Eyes continue to be one of my favorite elementary art projects because they combine color theory, painting skills, and creativity into one engaging lesson.

This project helps students practice identifying primary colors, secondary colors, and intermediate colors while creating a colorful eye-themed artwork. Students learn the organization of the color wheel and apply their knowledge in a hands-on way that results in a unique finished piece.

 

Students first reviewed color theory concepts and the organization of the color wheel. They then divided their paper into equal sections, labeled each color, and painted the complete color wheel. Once dry, students transformed their color wheels into eyes by adding an eyeball, pupil, eyelid, and eyelashes.

 

 

 

 

 

One of the things I enjoy most about this lesson is seeing how different each student's project becomes even though everyone starts with the same color wheel structure.
