3rd Grade Analogous Color Monsters

3rd Graders continued discussing the color wheel.  Building from our previous project discussing primary and secondary colors students explored analogous colors.  Analogous colors are 3 to 4 colors that sit next to each other on the color wheel. By using these three analogous color schemes:

1. red, orange, yellow  
2. blue, violet, red
3. blue, green, yellow

Students picked an analogous color scheme and using the straw watercolor blowing technique students made monsters.  Students used the collage technique to add features to their monsters and to give them a background.
