Color Wheel Art Lesson 2nd Grade Element of Art Project Colors Bunny Art Project
Looking for a color wheel art lesson that teaches primary and secondary colors without making color theory feel dry or complicated? This cheerful Color Wheel Carrots Bunny Art Project combines color mixing, creative drawing, painting, fine motor practice, literacy, and reflection in one complete Grade 2 art lesson.
Students will create an adorable bunny surrounded by a rainbow of colorful carrots arranged in color-wheel order. Along the way, they will learn about the element of art: color, identify primary and secondary colors, explore how colors are mixed, and discover how artists use warm and cool colors to create feelings, moods, and emphasis in their artwork.
And honestly, color theory is much more memorable when a fluffy bunny and rainbow carrots are involved.
