The Emotional Color Wheel - Regular Edition

Grades 7-12.

It’s easy to say you love someone or dislike something. You can even draw things to help people understand these feelings, like a heart or a frowning face. But artists can say the same thing with colors and shapes. It’s like a secret language, a code that is very easy to understand once you know how. For example, why do you think nearly every country uses the color red on their stop signs? Red is a color that grabs attention and alerts us to possible danger. This book will help you learn about the ideas of color and shape and how to use them to create art with secrets in them, aka expressionism. It contains lesson ideas with additional space for sketching and planning projects. 80 pages. Copyright 2013.
