The Eagles and Elephants learned about different color schemes: primary, secondary, monochromatic, analogous and complementary. We viewed and discussed a presentation about the effects of color schemes with work created by various modern artists and designers. We learned how colors can be purposefully used together to create feelings, moods and target audiences. After completing a worksheet based on the information learned, the students chose an animal reference to create an oil pastel drawing using a color scheme of their choice.
We learned more about how to use oil pastels to our advantage through different methods of layering to create illusion. Upon completion of project, the students wrote an artist statement about how their intentional color scheme choice affects their animal. Below are some photos of their impressive finished drawings with statements (which are currently on display).
