COLOR Unit (5th)

In the "Color" unit for our fifth-grade art class, students will engage in a comprehensive exploration of color theory and its significance in visual arts, aligned with national visual arts standards. They will delve into the color wheel, examining primary, secondary, and complementary colors, and learn about color harmony and the emotional impact of color choices. Through a variety of hands-on projects, including painting, digital art, and mixed media, students will experiment with color mixing, contrast, and composition. They will also study how renowned artists utilize color to convey messages and evoke feelings, fostering critical analysis skills. This unit encourages self-expression and creativity while helping students develop their artistic techniques and a deeper appreciation for the role of color in art and culture. 1.
