For children, ages 6-11
In Lessons in Art For Children, kids will learn the basics of how line, value and color work. By making their own color wheel, they will learn about the relationships between colors. Each week will feature a new topic on color mixing and color combinations. The lessons are cumulative, in that students will apply what they learned the previous week to the current lesson. Students will look at works of other artists such as Van Gogh, Monet, Vermeer, Mondrian, and many more artists who use color theory in their own work. 

Two activities will be done each week: the first is to understand more about the featured topic and the second is to apply what they learned to their own work. As well as learning about color theory, they will also gain an understanding on how light, value, and form.

Students will learn (in age appropriate lessons):

Hue, Saturation and Value

Tint and Shade

Meaning of Color

Mark Making and Pointillism

Joseph Albers- the father of Modern Color Theory

Color Harmonies using: 

Complimentary, Analogous, Triadic and Split Complimentary palettes
