This interactive Google slide activity is a great way to introduce basic color theory concepts to your kids!
Color theory for kids…..
Color is such a fun element to of art to explore with kids. Understanding the relationships between colors is a great building block for kids as they are making their own artwork and learning to talk about and understand the artwork of others.
This digital art activity covers concepts such as the definition of color, ROYGBIV, primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, value, warm and cool colors, and complementary colors. There are a LOT of color concepts packed into these fun slides!
These interactive Google slides are meant to engage…
While these slides cover a ton of info they’re also meant to engage your students so the information sticks! Rather than reading and mindlessly clicking to the next slide each of these slides has a task for your kids to complete.
The activity on some slides may be as simple as unscrambling a word. Others ask your students to group colors according to being warm or cool, match complements, or put colors in rainbow order.
Digital color mixing….
I love the flexibility these slide provide. You can introduce color mixing to your students even if they have super limited supplies available to them! (Think distance learning!)
The primary and secondary color slides provide students with transparent magenta, yellow, and cyan shapes to position and overlap thereby creating a variety of new colors, no paint required!
The value slide provides students with color, black, and white shapes that can be dragged and overlapped to create endless tints and shades!
