3rd Grade Pastel Colorwheel

Third graders learned how to mix INTERMEDIATE colors this week in art.

Intermediate colors are made by mixing a primary color with a secondary color next to it on the color wheel.  Students used Primaries and Secondaries to draw, label and color the color wheel, they also learned how to blend the oil pastels using their fingers or a paper towel.

Winter wonderland!

Third grade is learning about drawing shades, tints, and shadows; and with no snow to be found, it was time to let the snow fly!  Third graders made snowmen using vine charcoal, chalk and blending paper to create a snowman scene.  They made sure to have a shadow, show depth and make the snowmen look a little 3-D using their shading and blending.
