Hi guys, does anyone have an interesting color wheel lesson they wouold be willing to share? I need something basic for my alternative students, they lack the patience and become frustrated very easily. I also do not have a sink, so I would have to be using maybe pencils or oil pastels?

What is the class size and age of the students? I did a one day bridge lesson using cookies, frosting, and food coloring to create cookie color wheels. I did this for extremely low function students with alternative needs. They where really engaged because they had the promise of eating the cookies when they were done. Not sure of many factors, so this might not work. Was a hit as a bridge lesson though.
Hey. Is this Brette? I don’t know anyone’s N number so it’s difficult to know who is posting! hahaha
Anyway, I don’t know what the abilities of your students are, but I teach a studio course that is for life skills students and behavioral students. We do a quick, easy color wheel project that is essentially a collage. I find that it’s been very calming for my students. I’m not sure if it’s what you’re looking for exactly but I can send you a picture of an example if you would like?
Its me Lindsay lol.
I like the idea of a collage! As for the cookies, it’s cute but I can foresee disaster now. A pic would be great. Thank you!
Try making an image using a grid and have them mix colors. I did that with a painting color wheel project and my special ed students really liked it!
Thank you Jenn! The good old grid method never seems to fail!
