Ombre Abstract Trees

Hey, what's the big idea? So glad you asked! 

Students learned a few color theory essentials. New vocabulary included, gradient, ombre, analogous color, complimentary color, and primary color. We had a lengthy discussion about red, blue and yellow vs magenta, cyan and yellow (which ones are the REAL primary colors?) Students practiced blending oil pastels, and had an opportunity to create their own abstract tree filled with interesting color gradients.
