Warm and Cool Collages Kindergarten Art Project Presentation modified and prepared by NW PTA Sept. 2016 Kindergarten Art Project Northwood Elementary PTA 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 Grade: Kindergarten Lesson: Collage Medium: tissue paper Time: 45-60 minutes Volunteers: 1 plus the lead Curriculum Tie: Color & Texture   Project Overview/Skills  Students will discuss warm and cool colors, and how they make you feel. They will create a warm and/or cool masterpiece out of tissue paper, glitter and glue. Vocabulary Color Wheel Primary colors Secondary colors Analogous colors Warm colors Cool Colors

Lesson Notes 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 (see printable sheet on next slide) 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.

The Color Wheel

Warm and Cool Color Collages Supply List Warm and Cool Color Collages   Materials/Home Preparation: 8-1/2” x 11” white paper Torn and/or cut pieces of warm and cool tissue (don't make the pieces too small or it will be too hard to fill the page; the children can tear the paper if they want it smaller) Elmers glue Glitter Box lids for glitter (copier paper box lids work well) Copies of color wheel (at end of this document), one for each student – optional – Master copy is available in the PTA Cabinet on Kindergarten Shelf Crayons or color pencils for coloring color wheel – optional Paper plates or Ziploc bags for sorting tissue papers by color Post-Lesson Email the Parent Letter for this lesson to your room parent (available on the PTA website under ”Art Docent Volunteer Resources”) and ask your room parent to forward it to the class. The letter gives the parents context for the lesson their student completed and this step helps ensure on-going support of the Northwood PTA Art Docent program!

Today’s Activity Ask students choose whether they will create a cool or warm collage or a combination of both warm and cool. Give each student an 8-1/2” x 11” piece of white paper. Have them write their name on the back and then flip over the page to start the project. Place torn and/or cut pieces of warm and cool color tissue paper in the center of each table. The only rules are to fill the paper and use all warm, all cool or a combination of warm and cool colors (if the child chooses to do both warm and cool, you can fold the paper in half to make a dividing line, and then they can do one half warm and the other half cool). Make sure that they only use small drops of Elmers glue in the corners of the tissue. Otherwise it will get very messy. Encourage them to overlap the pieces of tissue paper to create different color combinations. Have them go off the edge of their piece of paper. We will trim them when they dry. Discuss what they see happening. When they are finished and no white paper is showing, have them add glitter. Work with one or two children at a time to add glitter. A box that will fit the collage is highly recommended for applying the glitter. It helps keep it contained and off the floor and everything else. Have the student drizzle Elmers glue over their collage and then add glitter. Shake and hang to dry.  

The Color Wheel

Woman with a Fan Amedeo Modigliani How does this print makes you feel. Warm? Cold? What colors were used?

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
