Objectives:

What You Need:

• Markers (red, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple)
• White Paper
• Glue
• Scissors
• Warm/Cool Color Handout
• 12x18 construction paper

What You Do:

1. Review the primary and secondary colors with students. Talk about how these colors can also be grouped in another way. Warm and cool.

2. Talk about things that make us feel warm and what colors they are. Like the sun is yellow and makes us feel warm, fire has yellow, red and orange and also makes us feel warm. Do the same for the cool colors (blues, greens & blue-violets).

3. Once students have an understanding, explain that they are going to draw pictures that make them feel warm and cool using only the warm and cool colors. Remind them that if they are going to use red, yellow and orange (warm colors) they must draw something that is warm. The same with greens, blues, and purple (cool colors).

4. After the students have drawn their pictures using their markers (they always seem to love to use their markers) have them glue their pictures onto the large construction paper.

5. Then hand out the Warm/Cool colors handout. Have them color in the words "Warm and Cool" and then round the corners to fit on the page. Glue and then date the back.

   You have another completed another page in your art book.
