Color Theory for Children

After introducing the primary and secondary colors, my students will review what they have learned using this page. It can be painted with watercolors (and actually mix the colors to get the secondary colors) or just color it with markers.

After this, the color wheel may be introduced with even tertiary colors or just a simple one like the one here: color wheel.

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!!

How to draw a daisy step by step

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!
