MODERN ART LESSONS · STUDENT WORKSHEET
Make a Color Recipe Chart
Make a labeled chart showing the paint recipe for orange, green, and purple. Use the example for ideas, but choose your own subject, colors, arrangement, and details.
Study the example for possibilities, then close or cover it. Your work should make different choices.
What to do
- Make this: a labeled chart showing the paint recipe for orange, green, and purple.
- Your core skill today: Compare two ways to layer marks and select one.
- Make a quick sketch. Label the main shapes, colors, parts, and where they will go.
- Lightly plan the main shapes. Paint the large areas first, let layers settle, then add smaller shapes, lines, and details.
- Stop halfway. Compare the work to the project goal—not to another student’s art. Fix, add, remove, move, or strengthen one part.
- Finish the important details. Make sure every loose part is attached and the main idea is easy to notice.
- Share the work. Explain one choice and one change you made. Photograph or display it, then clean the workspace.
My project: I am making a labeled chart showing the paint recipe for orange, green, and purple. Draw or write your idea.
My choices: Circle or write the colors and materials you will use.
My plan: Draw the big shapes or main parts and show where they will go.
My first step: What will you make first?
Halfway check: What part needs to be added, moved, fixed, or made stronger?
Finish check: Are the main idea, important details, and connections complete?
Share: One choice I made was… One change I made was…
Skill evidence: Compare two ways to layer marks and select one. Show your test and explain what you chose; speaking or dictation is welcome.
