Color Wheel / Ferris Wheel

I saw this project on Pinterest and I thought it was a great idea! Here is my version of the Ferris Wheel (yes, it is very basic, but students are supposed to use their creativity to make this ferris wheel fun!). You can just print it out and have your kids paint the circles or if you guide them step by step they can draw it first. It would also be a great exercise on drawing circles!!

Remind children to draw lightly so that they can erase. The outer circle should be erased, it is just a guideline. Printable version http://marlenellanes.com/daisyblog.pdf

Drawing a Table in One Point Perspective Using the Grid

I created this worksheet after seeing my students guessing on the width of the table legs (and sometimes the height). By using the grid you can draw all four legs in the correct proportion. This may seem like a more complicated way of drawing a table in one point perspective, but it will help students understand better the use of grids and achieving the right proportions in perspective. I usually have my students do the table using the basic method (found in many books and websites), then after they have a clear understanding of how to draw a table in one point perspective they do this "advanced" method. I hope you find this worksheet useful!

Color Theory for Children

This is a basic lesson to introduce children (ages 4-6) to color theory. Have them draw the candy and lollypops first, then talk about the primary/secondary colors and have them paint their drawing as the example. You may have to "cheat" a little with the purple by adding a little white (depending on the type of paint you use). You can do each set at a time (2 lollypops and a candy) or all 3 together. You can start with a story about a candy factory and by mixing the ingredients used in 2 of the lollypops then you get the candy! Make it fun!
