Using folded paper to inspire a unique color exploration.

As review of colors wheels and as an starting point to painting, students created "exploding color wheels." The requirements were: that they had to draw something in pen and ink make the color wheel "explode" from that object. I wish we had spent more time on discussing pen and ink work before we started. However it was fun to see the students solve the issue of making their color wheels explode. You can check out more at Artsonia.

Looking for ways to teach Color Wheels and their combinations can be a bit of a puzzle. Weve noticed its not always easy finding the right tools. Teachers and parents often scramble for activities that can make learning about colors more interactive and engaging.
