3rd Grade- Warm and Cool Hand Designs!

I am way behind on posting projects! I have been so busy, but I plan on getting caught up with the posting this week!

This project was for 3rd grade, who were learning about color at the time. We started the color unit out by viewing a PowerPoint on color and filling out a color wheel. We foucused on warm and cool colors in third grade. For the first step of this drawing, the students traced their hands on their papers. They then were instructed to draw a small circle somewhere on their paper and then draw more circles, going off the paper when they reached the edges. I told them to work as neatly as possible so the circles wouldn't look sloppy.

The next step was painting. We reviewed the warm and cool colors and wrote them on the board before beginning. The students were allowed to choose which part of their drawing would be warm colors and which would be cool colors. They were instructed to paint neatly in the lines and rotate the colors in a pattern for the warm/cool parts. They turned out pretty neat and colorful!
