Monochromatic Classroom Objects
4th Grade
This lesson allows the class to continue working with color and experiment with it to learn/review the concept of value and what causes colors lighter or darker (Shades - adding black to a color; Tints - adding white to a color).
Step 1. I created a powerpoint that views the different color groups and introduces the concept of value, shades, and tints at the end.
Step 2. Demonstrate steps 3 and 4 to the entire class before allowing students to go off and work.
Step 3. Pass out paper and pencils. Next, pick 4-5 objects from around the room. Draw the 4 different objects on paper (the objects don't necessarily need to be as detailed with all the printed wordings or anything).
Step 4. Draw random lines over the objects (I told my students they needed to draw 6-10 lines in various directions). These lines should create geometric-shaped spaces on the paper.
Step 5. Pick a color for the project, and grab chosen color plus black and white paint. Use that color and black and white to create the different tints (color + white) and shades (color + black). Note: The each geometric-shaped section on the paper needs to use different tints and shades from the adjacent sections. For example, if my background in one section is incredibly dark, the background of the other sections adjacent to it should not be the same color. They need to be lighter or darker.
