High School Acrylic Painting: A Kaleidoscope of Color - Fun, Easy Radial Dot Paintings
I have students create a radial symmetry design, then use color mixing to create a color plan, transfer their design to final canvas/paper and create unity through the use of color and design. Students also learn about variety and movement with dots. Here are the basics of the lesson:
Medium: Acrylic painting (Could also use Tempera)
Time: 2-3 weeks
Grade: 9-12 Painting I
Objective: Explore radial symmetry, color mixing, tints and shades, unity and movement.
Materials: Canvas, acrylic paint, brushes, water, paper towel, drawing paper, pencils, rulers, chalk for transfer, plastic cups with lids to save paint once mixed. Tape and beaver board to tape canvas/paper to for painting.
