Color Wheel Tree
Supplies needed: 1 sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper or cardstock, pencil, eraser and media of your choice: colored pencils, markers, crayons, paint or watercolor.
Paint/Watercolor: be sure to have a paint brush, paper towel and water cup.
1. Using a pencil, lightly draw a tree trunk and branches on your paper. Use samples and examples below for reference.
2. Use your imagination and create a background for your tree. Where is it? In a forest? In your backyard? At a park? Draw the space around it.
3. Decorate your tree with media of your choice.
For younger students: Refer to the color wheels below and start by coloring in each section of your leaves with colors on the color wheel to create a rainbow from red to purple!
For older students/adults: With your media, add leaves of various colors, maybe add some apples or pears to your tree, etc. Think of the time of year and how the trees look, mix your colors according to the season. If you are using paint or watercolor as your media, use the color wheels below to color mix and create different shades for your tree, leaves and background.
P.S. Remember to sign your name at the bottom right corner of your artwork!
Have Fun! :)
We would love to see photos of you and your family creating your Color Wheel Trees!
