1st Grade Color Wheel Order Flower

On a square piece of paper, artists traced a small plate to begin their design with a circle. Next they added other rings using a variety of lines and shapes. They were required to have at least 6 rings, one for each color of the rainbow. We talked about using symmetry in our designs. They traced their pencil lines with black crayon and added color in ROYGBV order (review from the Geometric and Organic Color Wheel Mobile) using watercolors. The last step was to trace the black crayon lines again--this time with black paint. This made the designs stand out and they look beautiful with a colorful mat.
