Product Description
Learn to use warm and cool colors with light and dark values.
Kids love to draw the sun, and they often finish a drawing by putting a big yellow sun in it. So why not draw a picture that is only a sun! Besides, since sunlight is full-spectrum light (it has every color in it), why not make a picture of the sun that uses every color in the color wheel?
We begin the lesson by showing four rather unusual images of the sun that we?ve found, and we use these as inspiration for you to design your own sun. The part of the lesson where we draw the sun offers lots of opportunity for creativity!
The coloring process is even more fun. We color half of the sun, its rays, and the remaining space with warm oil pastel colors and color the other half with cool colors.
Then, to make things really interesting, we add a lighter or darker value to part of each warm color and each cool color.
The result is a dynamic, cheerful picture that is very easy for first graders to draw, and satisfying for people of any age to color.
This lesson includes both POWERPOINT and VIDEO versions of the lesson plus a downloadable printout of the warmup.
