Colour Wheel Snowflakes


This was a super fast lesson that only really took about 40 minutes to complete.
I wanted to review the colour wheel with my class and have them do an art lesson where they had to really concentrate using their fine motor skills- I'm finding my students the past five years have really gone downhill in terms of fine motor skills, and I'm not blaming covid!

I found the project inspiration HERE but tweaked it a bit. 

I have these awesome snowflake stencils from Roylco.


Students chose one and traced it onto a square of cardstock in pencil.


Then they coloured each 'branch' using a different colour from the colour wheel (we skipped indigo).
You need to outline it three times so you have a nice thick band of colour/pigment.


Then, using a brush and water, paint over each marker line to dissolve it and create a soft shaded watercolour effect. If the line is too thin, it won't bleed much.
