⭐My #1 Teaching Tip!

When I start my Color Unit, I begin with Color Contrast before we even learn about the Color Wheel, color mixing, or color schemes. Over the years, I have discovered that when a student's artwork just "isn't working" it usually comes down to fixing the color contrast. If colors don't contrast well in artwork, then no matter how neatly the artwork has been created, it won't be visually easy to understand. The image or design will just be unclear. Understanding these tricks gives the teacher and students tools to "fix" color issues and to communicate effectively about color as it relates to their art projects. This product teaches students 3 easy to remember 'tricks" to achieve color contrast that will be useful to them for EVERY art project they create in your class!

This art resource is jammed-packed with handouts, visuals, and examples that will make teaching Color Contrast easy for you and fun for your students!
