Thank you to all of the families that sent photos of their color wheels. I love them! I will be posting them soon!

ColorWheel Printable

I am posting several color wheel printables for different ability levels to accompany the Color Wheel Challenge.

Students can use crayon, marker, color pencil or paints.

I suggest printing on white card stock if painting.

GrayscaleandMonochromaticScalePaintingPracticebilingual

This printable is a companion piece to the color wheel.

Students can color or paint a gray scale (black to white) or a monochromatic scale (color + black to pure color to color + white)

We worked on these concepts last year in our Value unit.
