1st Grade: Color Chameleons

     For the remainder of the year first graders will be learning about the elements of art. Line, Color, Space, Shape, Value, Texture and Form. For this lesson we focused on color. Students were given primary colors and tried to mix secondary colors on their chameleons. We also talked about various ways to apply paint, for this lesson we used our fingers! Students tried to have all 6 or 7 colors on their chameleon.

As an introduction we also read Eric Carle's "The Very Mixed Up Chameleon".
