5th Grade Learns Color Theory

The 5th grade art class has been learning about color theory with teacher Julia Sapir. The group photo shows them standing in front of their collaborative mixed media color wheel, which includes hundreds of pieces cut out of magazines and a collection of small found objects that correspond to the 12 colors on a conventional color wheel. (Incidentally and ironically, there are twelve 5th graders in the class). Their color wheel is currently being displayed over the fireplace in the Blue Room. Check out two 5th grade paintings - complementary color studies done by Hadley (red and green) and Levi (blue and orange). Very nice!
