4th Grade Value Change and Complementary Color Rose...

5th Grade Value Change and Warm/Cool Colors ...

Value change hearts. Students get 2 colors and a little black and white to create their hearts.

On a 12x12 sheet of 90# white paper draw a large heart using a pencil

Using a ruler or straight edge draw vertical lines across the paper.

Then draw horizontal lines across the paper.

Now you can start painting the heart.

Choose either a warm or cool color for the heart. Then the other color group will be selected from for the back ground.

You could also use a  complimentary color arrangement. 

After students paint the heart then they can start on the background.

During class we ran out of paper towels so our wonderful janitor Mr. Le brought us some more. He gave one of my awesome kiddos the old paper roll. I love my job!!!
