Kindergarten Art Project Northwood Elementary Art Enrichment Program Warm and Cool Collages Presentation modified and prepared by NW PTA Sept. 2016 Kindergarten Art Project Northwood Elementary Art Enrichment Program

How this PowerPoint Works Some of the slides in this presentation are hidden. (The slide number has a box and slash through it.) A hidden slide will not be shown in ‘slide show’ mode. It is visible and can be edited etc. in ‘normal’ mode. You can change modes on the view tab or with the icons in the lower right corner. Some of the slides have notes. These notes contain more detailed information that will be helpful in understanding the background of an artist or talking points for a slide. If you would like view or print this presentation with the notes, use the ‘notes page’ on the view tab or on the print menu.

Lesson Overview Draw an empty 6-space color wheel on the board. Explain that a color wheel is something used by artists. Can the students name the primary colors? Fill them in as they name them. Do they know what secondary colors are? They are made by mixing two of the primary colors. Red and Yellow make orange, blue and yellow make green and blue and red make purple. If you would like, you can give each student a copy of the color wheel to fill out as you are talking. A group of colors that are next to each other on the wheel are called analogous. Warm and Cool colors are specific sets of analogous colors. What colors do they think of when you mention ice, snow or deep water? Blue, Green and Purple are considered cool colors. What colors do they think of when you mention sun or fire? Yellow, Orange and Red are warm colors. Show prints on the slides and talk about how each print makes them feel. Warm? Cold? Today they are going to use tissue paper– to create a warm/cool collage. Show them how nice it is to fill the whole space (really emphasize this part). The objective here is to fill up their page with overlapping tissue paper…all in either warm and/or cool colors. Explain that a color wheel is something used by artists.

Leinoid Afremov Look at this painting… What do you notice about the colors the artist used? How do the warm colors on the left make you feel? Do you get a different feeling from the cold colors on the right? 
 Do you think that using different colors create a different mood in a piece of art work? Why or why not?  
 Why do you think the artist (decided to paint this piece with the warm and cold colors divided? Leinoid Afremov
