Warm and Cool Leaves

Students studied a simplified version of warm and cool colors: red, orange, yellow and pink for warm, and green, blue, purple, and magenta for cool colors. Students looked at leaves and copied them onto their papers. They used either a set of warm or cool crayon colors to fill in their leaves in between the veins. The following week students used the opposite set of colors to paint the background. All paint was liquid water color by Sax.
