1st grade students have been introduced to the warm and cool colors on a color wheel. We first dicussed what items in their lives that they think of when they think of things that are hot and cold. Answers like fire, water, ice and lava brought the students to the realization that the warm colors are red, yellow and orange and that the cool colors are blue, purple and green. The students will discuss the artwork of the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai along with his most famous painting, “The Great Wave off Kanagawa”. With their knowledge of warm and cool colors, students will create a wave in a pattern of the cool colors. The students will first draw a wave in the same shape as Hokusai’s and color it in using cool color oil pastels. Once they complete this, they will then create a sunset using a pattern of the warm colors.They will then complete this project by cutting out their wave and glue it to their sunsets.
 
Objectives: students will:
  • Understand the connection between the artist and their own artwork.
  • Be able to identify the cool colors.
  • be able to identify the warn colors.
  • Be able to create a pattern of the warm and cool colors in the form of a wave and sunset.
  • Be able to properly use a scissor to cut out their wave and glue it to their sunset.

ART WORDS:
